Fish Oil Supplement making milk smell funny?!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
And DDs poops too! gross. DDs dipes had this lingering odor after washing- multiple times between uses- that I could not pinpoint until a week ago... it's FISH! Also, the burp cloths and dipes we use that get straight breastmilk on them sometimes have this same lingering odor, especially the feeding a few hours after i take the supplement.

I stopped taking the capsules, bc I could NOT handle the odor. It doesnt give me fish burps or anything, so I am just shocked!

Do I just have to deal with the smell, or is there another kind of supp I can take with the same beneficial DHA? I read that the DHA in Flax is not as absorb-able or something. (though I can't recall the source of this info, I believe it was reputable.)

We dont really have a lot to spend on another DHA or Fish Oil supplement (I'm avoiding dairy now due to DD's milk protein allergy, so am also taking/paying for a high quality calcium/mag/D.

I haven't had this issue. I use Nordic Naturals (cheapest on Amazon IME). Or, could you try a different detergent and see if that helps?
