DH looks like he wants to vomit just looking at breast milk in a bottle.

kimmarie1105 · January 2015

Baaaahaha! My DH would not come near it and one day I was joking around with him and pointed my boob at his face and squeezed. I wasn't expecting it to work so it was pretty fucking funny when I shot him right in the eye.

I want to try it, DH looks like he'll vomit.

Just realised how poorly my poll was written being not mutually exclusive options. Sorry.

girlymama79 · January 2015

I think it tastes sweet and DH likes it.

I've tasted my own before. Reason being, I had an excess lipase issue (look that up--you'll want to keep that in mind just in case) and thought it was/had gone bad.

^^This. I had a lipase issue also and had to scald my milk before freezing it.

I will admit I was curious and tasted it back when I nursed DD. It's very sweet. I doubt I would want a whole glass, lol, but it is tastier than cows milk. I'm not a big milk fan in general.

HAHHAHAHA YOU DIDN'T!!! That is way too funny. I told DH I'll squeeze a few squirts into the cooking. You know, when I run out of milk or something.

stm-- sometimes after you thaw previously pumped/frozen milk, it smells different from freshly pumped milk. And you want to make sure it is ok for baby. In those cases, it's unavoidable. So, yes. I've tasted it. And will in similar circumstances.

It's off limits for DH. Ew.

jbartsy · January 2015

I think DH is actually more excited about trying it than me lol But I will for the sake of curiosity... I'd like to know what I'm feeding my baby

taisree · January 2015

My SO is totally 'pumped'to try it.

Eta: Me... Not so much lol

mamayo26 · January 2015

DH and I both tasted it last time...we also tasted the formula when we switched...I don't know how the little ones drink that shit, BM is so much better, but had issues so had to switch!

ktbear9512 · January 2015

I licked a drop that I spilled on my hand. DH wants nothing to do with that though!

GirPipley · January 2015

So..... This is like waaaaaaay inside my relationship, but R is totally into the breastmilk.

Since I'm a STM, I still have some milk when stimulated. When we first started dating, he told me he tasted some while we were going at it. He told me a couple days later that it was one of the hottest things he's ever experienced.

At first I was all....so, is this like an adult nursing thang? Cuz I've seen a documentary on that, and it's NOT something I could support. But he says its purely sexual. He has no desire in "nursing" from me. He just likes the taste when we're playing, and he's not sure he would feel the same about full blown flow.

I dunno, whatever floats his boat....

ETA: the very important word NOT

AmyCee · January 2015

I tasted it last time. DH had zero interest and I didn't push it...DS loved every drop

stinybean · January 2015

I reallllllllly do not want to try it, and my dh definitely would run away from me if I even asked.

Wtf is a breast milk shots party? I hope I'm never invited to one.

Pump breast milk out. Pour into a row of shot glasses. Breast milk shot party! WOOT WOOT!! Sorry, I'm just being silly. It came into a conversation with friends.

missjenniebean · January 2015

I have honestly never even thought of this. Lol!

Emilywooddesign · January 2015

I have tried my best friends breast milk
Before, kinda weird but She squirted it in my mouth ( I was a few glasses of in) it's very sweet, my husband doesn't want to try it but I will prob squirt some in his direction anyway haha

He liked it that one time or on the regular? I'm asking bc this is well the bump and you never know...

-----quote fail----

He loves to lick up what comes out while we are doing the deed. No adult nursing or anything like that.

Another vote for this. Fresh is sweet, lipase excess is gross. I ended up being able to nurse DS until I got pregnant again but had to throw away over 500 ounces because it all went bad from the lipase issue. This time I'll scald initially just to have a store of milk the kid will actually drink, assuming I'll have the same lipase issue. Hindsight I should have scalded and donated, though I'm not sure they'd take it.

Lol that's definitely a different male reaction. My DH said he'll avoid my boobs until I'm dried out. It's meant to be sweet so should taste good. It's just the idea of it that makes it seem gross to people.

I just had the funniest image of all of us sitting there in June with DH/BFF opposite us, to see who squirts the most milk in the mouth from across the table. I don't think I could try another persons. I tried my mum's again when I was 8yo - I dont think that counts though.

elvinnoe · January 2015

Never tasted it, but DH accidentally got a little whiledtd every now and then. He originally intended to stay away from the boobs too, but a guy who loves boobs can't hold out very long lol.

gingerbabe · January 2015

None of the above is not an option?? I have breastfed two kids and never tasted it. My DH has no interest either, but I've never actually asked him to taste it because that seems strange.

However I can tell you 100% that breastmilk smells soooo much better than formula! So I'm guessing it tastes a lot better too.

Seriously!! My son absolutely refused formula so when I lost my milk when he was 10 months I had him drink goats milk, then cows milk early. My daughter didn't seem to mind formula at all! It's crazy the terrible tasting things babies will eat!

wegrowsheep · January 2015

@leenziepops‌ I'm a little sad you didn't leave a SS option. Or a "side of tube steak" option... Seems like a good idea today.

I know. My poll is very clumsy. I clicked save, thinking it would save, and then it posted and I couldn't edit.

sugarkissed · January 2015

Nope, nope. Have never tasted it, probably never will... on purpose..

Emilywooddesign · January 2015

@leenziepops‌ lol imagine?? It squirts far too! I was impressed at how fast it travels. I asked her if I could milk her but she wouldn't let me

what a buzz kill haha

ombradellarosa · January 2015

I picked the shots party because it made me laugh. This is a good question, I hadn't really thought about it before. I think I'd be curious to know what it tastes like but the thought of drinking a glass or cooking with it makes me sick. I'm surprised that DH has joked about it before seeing as he doesn't like milk at all. We'll see, I still don't really know.

Schnurette · January 2015

Uh spechul snewflac...non merci the breastmilk is for baby not me. And not DH. And I just had breakfast so ruuuuude to even suggest this to me right now lol

This! I think if you're going to BF, you will at some point taste it, whether it's intentional or not!

H didn't mind it, but never really asked to taste it. A drop here and there is totally expected.
