Have you tried your breastmilk?

Just curious if anyone has tried their breastmilk.  I still haven't tried it and my son is 4 1/2 months old.  One of these days I'll be brave enough to try it. :)

    I never did.  My sister tasted hers and said it tasted like vanilla milk. 

    Ewwww....

    Something about it just gives me the heebie-jeebies...

    I tried it back when I was bfing.  You all give it to your babies...why would you be afraid to try a little?

    Yes, I have.  I was very curious of the taste.  It was way sweeter than I had imagined. 

    Now I constantly taste any milk that I take out of the freezer and thaw for her to drink.  I am superparanoid that it's gone bad.

    Yep, and it tastes soapy when it's been frozen. I guess that's normal though,

    Yes, very sweet.  My husband completely refuses to try it and now I make a game out of jokingly telling him I used breastmilk instead of cream in his coffee.

    I haven't but my husband has.  He said it tastes like the milk at the bottom of a cereal bowl after eating a kid's cereal.  After smelling formula, I can't blame some babies for refusing formula after only having breastmilk.

    No but I totally want to.  I keep thinking I should do it before I'm done pumping.  I have no desire to taste the stuff in the freezer.

    Yes I have. It's not like I drank it, but dipped my finger in a bottle and tasted it. I don't see the big deal really, it is completely natural, and if I'm willing to give it to my baby I should be willing to at least taste it in my opinion.

    Yup, I try everything that goes in LOs mouth. I just did a pinky taste of each, fresh and frozen/thawed. Like all other PP's the fresh is sweetend the frozen was too but did have a little of the expected soapy taste too.

    No, I feel weird about it...not sure why!  I had my husband try it once though, but he wasn't a fan :P

    This. I don't see an issue. If I'm going to give it to my child, why not?!

    So we have no issues drinking milk made by a cow for a baby cow but won't drink milk made specially for humans? :-)

    Yep, I've tried it. But DH refuses :-)  I too joke about how I use it in his coffee and tea!

    My DH has. I only tried it when I mixed it with her oatmeal cereal, that didn't taste bad. I never really thought to taste it before that since I'm a SAHM and really never pumped until cereal.

    I don't see why it's gross.

    I tried just dipping the tip of my finger in it back when I was pumping. DS is straight formula and rice cereal now (I couldn't keep up).

    I asked DH if hed try it back then, and he said no way because that's gross. He is very curious to try DS's formula, though. Formula but you wouldn't taste my breastmilk?

    I tried a bit of her oatmeal mixed with it, but not straight up breastmilk.  I probably will at some point though--I try all of her purees before I feed them to her.

    I tried it a couple of days after he was born.  It's very sweet.

    It's odd that so many of you think this is gross.
