milk

Avatar f tn What could have caused that yucky taste or feeling? Let's say it was breast milk would it have been a risk?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Actually just like breast milk, what we eat and drink does alter the taste of the amniotic fluid, although there's no real way to tell whether or not she likes or dislikes it
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn How long can breast milk stay refrigerated before it can no longer be given to a baby?
1330108 tn?1333677304 Your valuable donation of breast milk will be used to make human milk fortifier and standardized human milk from 100% human milk.  Both will be available for very low birth weight infants and other seriously ill babies in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across the United States.  While a mother’s breast milk can provide a large percentage of her premature baby’s needs, premature infants need more protein and calories than are naturally occurring in mother’s milk.
192291 tn?1345400135 im not sure....i dont see why it would...i think they tell you to stop anyways if your pregnant again because it makes you uterus contract and its not good for the baby in there...as for the taste..no clue? Why do you ask ne ways?? lol im just curious....you dont have to awnser!!
Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar n tn 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!

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Ladies when did your breast start leaking colostrum? What does it look like? Lol & not to be weird but what does it taste like?& did you have problems with them leaking?
Avatar f tn If the bottle of infant formula tastes like breast milk he will accept the bottle more. Try mixing ¾ breast milk and ¼ infant formulas at first. If he does accept it, then after a week or so, try doing a bottle mix of ½ breast milk, and ½ formulas. 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 he accepts it. This way you will use up the breast milk and he will get used to the formula taste.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn if you like the taste of milk and personally want to drink it, goat milk is the healthiest for human consumption. (Cows have multiple stomachs for a reason) If you like it though, go for a lower fat volume - like 1% or skim. Of course it is completely your choice! This is your body and your baby and no matter what you decide, it will be right for you (: I'm just offering the knowledge.
Avatar f tn What is it about milk you dont like? The taste? Or does it just gross you out in general?
Avatar f tn it triggers your milk makin hormones to start. About 2-5 days after the colostrum will turn to breast milk.
1289083 tn?1276054732 So to transmit HIV to an adult from breast milk that person would have to drink it like a baby would drink it and that is out of the question.
Avatar f tn HCV is transmitted by infected blood, not by human breast milk. There are no current data to suggest that HCV is transmitted by human breast milk. http://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/disease/hepatitis.
192291 tn?1345400135 i breast feed my 2 daughters and im 26 weeks pregnant so this is how it went for me both pregnancies will feeding at around 4 months into the pregnancy you milk supply slows down so the baby or babies in my case this time drink more often and then around 6 months it bosts up again thats what happened to me twice also i was told that as the taste of your milk changes they may go of it but my kids just loved the new taste and i had to practicaly fight them off sometimes lol good luck
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn You only need pump if you plan to go work or leave baby while youre away somewhere, or bottle Feed your baby breast milk! Some insurance companies provide u with free pumps. I breast feed and pump for my daughter since i was taking college classes. With this baby I'm pump too days i have a sittter.
