What to do with really old frozen milk

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I know I need to just throw it, but is there anything at all I can do with milk that's been in the freezer for over a year? Obviously I won't feed it to my daughter (or anyone). I have maybe 50oz. I need the freezer space but it breaks my heart to dump it all down the drain.

Thaw some and taste it. If it still tastes good, give it to your daughter. The reason there's 1 year cap on milk in the freezer is that it loses some of the antibodies, not because it's bad.

if you have a pet, cat, dog, etc, you can feed it to them. I did this with old bm and soured cows milk one time. At least it wasn't going down the drain!

I've heard about people using it for soap making. I've never tried it though- all my old milk ended up being tossed.

I did a dumping ritual with my son when he turned 2 and I realized I had to let it all go - it wasn't yummy. He loves to dump liquids anywhere, so we defrosted it all and took it out under the tree where his/ my belly cast sits. We poured it over the belly and breasts and we were both content.
