milk

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 n tn Last week of February I went to this strip club. The exotic dancer let me suck her boobs and I did taste a few drops of milk from both. (I sucked on the second because I wanted to make sure I did taste something from the first). The dancer did confirm to me that she had a 6-month old baby that she was breastfeeding. That was all. I went and rinsed my mouth and walked out, all worried. Last week I was generally feeling sick (partly spurred by anxiety, I am sure), but no fever.
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 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 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 What could have caused that yucky taste or feeling? Let's say it was breast milk would it have been a risk?

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.

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.

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.
1345697 tn?1430619021 s true that some strongly flavored foods may change the taste of your milk, most babies seem to enjoy a variety of breast milk flavors! Generally, the dominant flavors of your diet — whether soy sauce or chili peppers — were in your amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Fetuses swallow a fair amount of amniotic fluid before birth, so when they taste those flavors again in their mother's breast milk, they're already accustomed to them.
Avatar f tn it triggers your milk makin hormones to start. About 2-5 days after the colostrum will turn to breast milk.
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 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.
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 Adults are not susceptible to HIV infection through ingestion of breast milk. There are no reported cases of infection in adults through breast milk exposure. You were prescribed PEP unnecessarily and irresponsibly.
Avatar m tn t taste anything either i never tried breast milk lol, but im sure i would taste it.
Avatar f tn Boob size really doesnt matter with my first one i breast fed, i produced a whole lot of milk that i some times didnt know what to do with. I donated some of it. My breasts did grow a little bit while i was breast feeding, however, weed can lead up to several mental disabilities as birth defects, i had looked it up because a friend was smoking during all of her pregnancys and they all came out with a speech impediment, adhd, anxiety and many more problems.
