I think it was a phrase I actually picked up from my mom, so I'm guessing the term has been around for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-everyone-refer-to-their-pumped-breastmilk-as-liquid-gold#post-38393 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:52:29 +0000 mrbee 38393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was surprised at how many people referred to expressed breastmilk as "liquid gold". I thought we were the only ones who did that!</p> <p>Do you refer to your pumped breastmilk as "liquid gold"? </p>
