Common Questions and Answers about How does breast milk taste like
milk
Most breast-feed infants do not like infant formula and need it mixed with breast milk to accept it. If the bottle of infant formula tastes like breast milk she will accept the bottle more. Try mixing ¾ breast milk and ¼ infant formula at first. If she does accept it, then after a week or so, try doing a bottle mix of ½ breast milk, and ½ formula. If you wish, you can gradually go to a bottle mix of ¼ breast milk and ¾ formulas, then totally to all formula depending on how she accepts it.
Keep in mind that he just might be curious what breast milk tastes like. You could ask him that. If he wants to try it just to see how it tastes, you'll probably have a pump, right? or be able to hand-express a little into a cup, and just give it to him. If he insists he wants to try it "from the source," you might think he's doing it for erotic reasons, and that is why it is bothering you? Ask him. If it is an erotic interest, then think over how you feel about that.
most important is to try not to eat empty calories.... food does change some taste in the breast milk I tested it on my husband because my baby seemed less interested in nursing and more interested after eating some foods. I learned to recognize what she did and did not like. It will not make baby starve just make them not want to continue to nurse once full. Nobody can tell you what your baby will for sure like and not like all babies have different taste. Good luck...
Try someone else offering the bottle to him, because you smell like breast milk. Also taste the milk if you offering formula, because breast milk is sweet, a lot of formulas taste horrid! Mostly I found it was just perseverance.
If you dr has no problems with his poo-ing patern the don't force a change. It could cause problems where once there wasn't any.
Good luck!
Start with ¾ breast milk and ¼ Pedisure or Milk, go to half and half, then ¼ breast milk and ¾ Pedisure or Milk, and finally to all Pedisure or Milk. You can do each mix every 3-4 days as long as she is accepting the mixture. She will get used to the Pedisure or Milk taste gradually. Suggest trying other dairy sources, such as yogurt and cheese, too once she accepts milk and or Pediasure. Hoped this helped you.

Lastly, there are certain foods and drugs can cause a reduction in breast milk or make your baby not like the taste of your breast milk. It is best to avoid certain spices in large quantities. Spices such as Garlic, Sage, Parsley, Peppermint, and Thyme can cause problems. Drugs to avoid are Decongestants, Alcohol, Hormonal birth control pills, and tobacco should not be taken unless absolutely necessary.
No matter what your choice, you should always speak with your doctor first.
t just put the nipple in, you flatten the breast a bit and put as much of the breast in as will go, along with the nipple, like the baby is taking a big mouthful of a hamburger in a bun. Please talk to a lactation specialist, your doctor can help you find one through your hospital. Don't give up on nursing this early just because you dislike pumping, and don't give up on your baby being able to nurse.
It is breast cancer of the milk-producing lobes, not the milk ducts which is more common. I had a mastectomy of that breast and not the other which was clear. Since then, the remaining breast has had no odor whatsoever, and my BO is completely gone, despite switching to weak all-natural deodorant. In my personal experience, it seems like cancer might have be the cause. Lobular breast cancer is invisible on mammograms. The cancer was extensive in that breast and there was no saving it.
