funky thawed milk  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My thawed milk is gross! Here's a little background, with dd, I exclusively pumped and was overproducing. I had (no lie!) 200 bags of frozen breastmilk in mine and my mom's freezer, I would thaw it and it would not be edible. I am breastfeeding with this new baby and decided to try to freeze some with the help of an LC that said I should scald my milk before freezing due to what happened with dd. Apparently my milk has a high fat content and scalding breaks it down. Anyway, I thawed some out to "test" yesterday and it is still funky tasting. Any suggestions? I really wanted to start a small stash for when I went to work. Help!

Search on kellymom for excess lipase. It sounds like that's what's going on.

To be honest frozen BM does have a bit of an oder. I should not smell nasty or rotten but it does not smell anywhere as good as fresh. I always liken it to the smell (or lack their of ) of really fresh fish verses the frozen variety. It is still good but just does not smell the same.

Also I second what RachelGS said above.
