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 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 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...
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.
Avatar f tn t lie lol I tried mine and to me it was sweet. What ever you eat like salt or sour or sweet it would taste like that. My husband and I are expecting our second child but my 4th baby and last time he didn't want to try it and now he does.
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 My boyfriend recently told me my breasts always has a taste to them but I don’t know what to tell him that causes them to have an onion like taste. Even after I get out the shower and we get intimate I can taste and smell his mouth like onions. All I can think is maybe the soap I’m using? Maybe I should be using an unscented one instead of a strong scented one..
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 What is it about milk you dont like? The taste? Or does it just gross you out in general?
Avatar f tn How long can breast milk stay refrigerated before it can no longer be given to a baby?
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 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 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.
Avatar m tn t find any dischage/liquid from her nipple. After one week I have checked that woman whether she had breast milk or any nipple dischage by fondling throughly. I havn't found any thing. Lot of anxiety over hiv risk. It is like hell to wait for 1 month to test.
Avatar n tn My baby will turn 1 year old in two weeks. I'm not sure if I should continue with breast milk or should I give her whole milk. Some mom told me that breast milk isn't that effective in this stage because the nutrient is less in the breast milk so my baby will not get all the good stuff as she used to because the milk is not the same. Is it true?
7557112 tn?1399509472 It's totally different. I don't like my husband near my boobs ever but nursing was so different. I think it's the bond you have with baby and knowing that it is normal and best for baby it changes your thoughts of it. I nursed my daughter for almost 18 months.
Avatar f tn I tasted my milk when it came in. Lol :) had to taste what my babies were tasting. I see why they lkve it too! Tastes way better than formula thats for sure.
Avatar f tn It contains Lauric acid which is Anti-viral, Anti-bacterial, Anti-parasitic and Anti-fungal. Lauric acid is present in Human breast milk and offers protection to babies when breastfed. So it may be a good idea to check it out. There's a lot of info out there on Coconut oil. Just do a search or go to the coconut research website for more details. Hope this helps, Blessings to you and your family, and I hope you find some answers, soon.

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 You think if I eat salad it will make my breast milk taste funny ? I heard something about broccoli making baby fussy or something . What about salad ? Also I know during pregnancy there was like pregnancy "super food" like strawberries & a few others . Any tips for breast feeding diets ? I want to have the best breast milk ever !
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 I try not to eat onions when breastfeeding it has always given my babies tummy aches And it smells gross if your pumping so I'm sure that it doesn't taste very good. If I don't eat enough when I'm breastfeeding my supply decrease so do skip meals and eat healthy snacks along with plunty of water.
