Stored Milk Issues

Back to work today and my LO is refusing to drink milk that was stored in the freezer for a month. Anyone else have issues with their LO refusing older milk? She took the bottle of fresh squeezed milk no problem this morning...

    Haven't experienced it myself yet but I also haven't tried DS on freezer milk. My sister had the same problem with her son though. Fortunately she was a SAHM so she just didn't pump and always breastfed him.

    Sorry I have no advice :( Hope LO takes it for you soon!!

    Maybe try mixing some fresh with some frozen until she gets more used to the frozen. I would imagine the frozen doesn't taste quite as good to them and probably takes some getting used to.

    Some people have lipase in their breast milk that can alter the taste https://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/lipase-expressedmilk/

    You may have excess lipase in your milk. I have this issue (or I presume that I do), because my milk sours after 6 days frozen. You may have to taste it and see if it has gone bad, and figure out how long your milk is good frozen. Sorry. It is really frustrating.

    Hugely helpful article! Thank you! Will be smelling my thawed milk today to see if lipase may be the cause.
