Avatar f tn And anyway breast milk has its own enzymes that kill bacteria, currently guidelines are that warm soapy water is enough no need to sterilize
751146 tn?1233402856 Sorry for questioning this teak but it is still possible for adults to contract HIV through breast milk as on internet & everywhere else breast milk is mentioned one of the body fluids known to infect the other with HIV. So keeping your statement in mind "Adults do not contract HIV by breast milk" i would still like to ask that is there any documented or known case by you people of anyone who has got infected through this way.
Avatar f tn 1. The best brand is Medela. As for using a single or double pump, or manual or electric, that may be dependent on how often you think you'll pump. If you're a SAHM and you'll be breastfeeding on demand every day, but you want to have the occasional bottle ready for a short outing, then go with a single pump--manual or electric is your preference.
Avatar f tn Recently, every time I eat a carb like a potato chip or popcorn, it tastes and feels as if it is stale even if it is just opened. I feel the crunch but it tastes like a stale chip tastes. It sort of feels like the food is melting as soon as it comes in contact with my saliva. I feel like I have a faint strange taste in my mouth constantly but not soapy or metallic.
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 s no need to sterilize at all just wash in soapy water. Best to ask your midwife or Doctor what theu recommend just to be safe.
Avatar m tn recently my girlfriend has been complaining about the smell and taste of my semen. She has told me it tastes and smells very soapy. Is there something i can do to stop this? An ideas as to what it is?
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 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 m tn I have pericoronitis.I sucks a woman's nipples,and feel that I swallow breast milk or blood because it tastes salty. No sex. I am afraid of being infected with hiv. Can I let this incident pass,and move on? Will this infect hiv? I have sex with my wife today, I am afraid that I will infect her.
Avatar f tn Btw he said Colustrum tastes nasty and breast milk tasted sweet.
422823 tn?1229736847 Never combine the cold milk with warm breast milk, so each time you will have to store one bottle (or the breast milk bags are good too)....once the milk is cold you can combine them. Whoa...off track, sorry! After I put the milk away I would wash the plastic nipple attachments and the other bottle. I used hot soapy water, then just set out to dry. At the end of the day you can steam everything. The tubing I would steam once a week, as no milk ever gets into that part.
Avatar f tn t the right forum but I feel more comfortable asking questions here...I had my daughter on the 9th and at first I had a really good milk supply where my breast would become engorged every two hours if I didn't pump or feed regularly....and I was pumping 2/3 ounces from each breast every time.....now I can hardly get an half an ounce :(....I try to have my daughter on my breast every two hours but it seems like she gets so irritated because nothing is coming out....
Avatar f tn I don't think a doctor would ask you to add something sugary to the infant formula. But if it's recommended by her doctor...then ok. If she's doing it because she thinks formula is not as sweet as breast milk, tell her to try a different brand. Each brand tastes very different. I tasted Gerber, Enfamil, and Similac... and like Similac best. It was the sweetest of the three but not as sweet as breast milk.
Avatar f tn This is my fourth pregnancy, and never experienced this before. I read it could be a metallic taste...but it tastes a bit soapy or something like that. Have other moms have or had this problem?
Avatar f tn does anyone who liked milk, it suddenly change during pregnancy ?? I loved milk I could drink a half a gallon to a gallon a day.. but now for the past two weeks its been giving me a stomach ache, I've heard of your tastes changing during pregnancy but would they really change at 36 weeks? anyone else just get sick from stuff you like ?
Avatar f tn I have the worst taste in my mouth. First, it started off as a metallic/copperish taste. Now, it's progressing to a soapy taste. No matter how much I drink, brush my teeth, or rinse my mouth out with soap, I still have this awful taste. I went to the dentist today and he said everything was fine... no gingivitis, irritation, etc. Nothing. The only thing I can think of is I took an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) for a sinus infection weeks ago. Other than that, nothing.
6692462 tn?1409257870 My fiancé is obsessed with my boobs and jokes that he gonna try my breast milk straight from the source.... Would you let your significant other try it? And if not why?
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 m tn My girlfriend's vagina tastes soapy. Should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn You take a couple of breast pads along and a wipey for your breast afterward (if you feel you need it -- breast milk is sterile and wonderfully resistant to bacteria, so you really don't) and you are all set to feed your baby. This compared to bottles, which you do have to sterilize, and fill, and keep warm or cool, and tote around, and wash, and remember to have, and hassle over. Breastfeeding can be such a breeze compared to that.
9399295 tn?1403752593 She might not be wanting it because the taste of formula. I heard breast milk tastes so much better then formula.
1486435 tn?1316470899 NicMom made a great suggestion - I had the most milk when my daughter was nursing in the middle of the night (even as an older baby). I also had some Mother's Milk Tea (tastes like black licorice which I don't particularly like so I made mine iced with honey for sweetener and that helped).
