Avocado turning brown

Stupid question but we don't eat avocado too often. I puréed it and put it in baby bullet containers, the top is turning brown from being exposed to oxygen. Can I still give it to LO? Will it taste gross or make him sick? I don't want to try it bc there is some breast milk mixed in with it...

Re: Avocado turning brown

  • Really? Consuming your own breastmilk will not hurt you. Cut off the brown part and LO will be fine.

  • Both the breast milk and avocado are fine ;)
  • The brown is a result of oxidization.
    Just like a banana or some apples and pears turn brown when cut.
    It's fine. It's merely aesthetic.
  • Am I the only one who has no interest in drinking their own breast milk?? I know it's diff and a little but TMI but I also am skeeved out making out with my SO after he goes down on me. Lol, I have zero interest in tasting any of my bodily fluids.

    Vaginal residu =\= bm.

    That's like saying bf'ing is a sexual
    Act..
    That is NOT at all what I was implying. I said it's not the same thing. I was just saying I am skeeved out tasting my own bodily fluids. Tasting BM is NBD for some but I know many women who have never tasted their milk.

    In the future, put a small piece of Saran wrap over the top to keep it from getting brown. Push it all the way on top of the avocado so there's no air touching it. And I'm sure you wouldn't even be able to taste the bm if you tried it, btw.

  • I know it won't kill me, I just can't bring myself to taste it. I've heard it's sweet and LO loves it but I can't do it.
    We should create a poll to see who has tasted it and who is scared, like me, to try it.
  • Your vaginaand your breasts aren't the same thing

    I never said they were...
  • Breast milk will take on flavours of whatever you've eaten. (Same as cow's milk).

    We had a cow get loose from the barnyard many years ago and she got into the garden. She ate some turnips. Believe me,...you could taste it.

    I'm sure the avocado is fine.

    For future reference, squirt a little lemon juice on the avocado after slicing and it will slow the oxidation process down.
    I happen to think I taste just fine... bm and if I smooch dh after oral, not that I walk around on a regular basis tasting both but if I were grossed out by my own body I couldn't even begin to expect dh to like my flavors, also I would never feed my lo something I was disgusted by.  Guess I'm oddball ? ok
    edit so it maybe makes sense
