metallic taste?

katxattack

I just thawed some frozen milk. Its about 4 weeks old, and had been in a deep freezer. I smelled it all as it thawed- smells fine. I placed it in bottles, and the noticed after a feeding it had a different smell. Not bad by any means. I tasted it- has a metallic after taste. Is that a lipase issue??? I never noticed this with other frozen milk I have used. I feed two bottles so far, and LO takes them fine.

WWYD? Use it? Check other milk from random dates?

it's lipase. As long as your LO is drinking it, it's not a problem and don't start on a metallic taste milk hunt.

I had this happen a bunch too - LO drank it just fine. I also realized that it was better if I froze my milk sooner so I only kept it in the fridge for 3 days.
