I'm still exclusively breastfeeding my baby - I feel it's a little sweet and has a strange aftertaste. In comparison, formula tastes so...artificial and gross. This gives me even more reason not to start formula any time soon.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183894 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:15:42 +0000 MsMini 183894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried formula or breast milk ... I think I might soon, DH was surprised the other day when I mentioned I hadn't tasted it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183844 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:35:36 +0000 Sweet T 183844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I saw that too! I couldn't believe it didn't ruin the desserts.</p> <p>The smell is disgusting. That is enough to keep me from tasting it. Yuck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183840 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:33:52 +0000 tequiero21 183840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with coco bee... Smells so nasty I'd never want to try it... Still haven't tried my breast milk... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183810 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:06:21 +0000 Rubies 183810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and I really don't want to. I feel badly, though. I'm going to have to start giving LO soy formula soon and I'm pretty sure it'll taste gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183437 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:13:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 183437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yah it had an iron taste it. Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183430 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:10:49 +0000 pastemoo 183430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahhahahhaha. No, I never did! But I did try milk--so sweet, it surprised me. LO also showed no preference for milk vs formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183363 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:21:35 +0000 autumnlove 183363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it tastes and smells disgusting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183344 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:08:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 183344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, BM doesn't taste bad (sweet) but formula just smells gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183340 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:06:20 +0000 chopsuey 183340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Its not good. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183335 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:04:51 +0000 heffalump 183335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw a tv show where they had to use formula as an ingredient in a dessert. After that I wondered what it tastes like, but not enough to actually try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183322 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:00:44 +0000 Andrea 183322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it is gross. DD never seemed to mind it either....I never understood why. Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183304 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:41:32 +0000 regberadaisy 183304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha yes, we always warm the bottle so I always test a drop on the back of my hand to make sure it's not too warm. In droplets it's ok?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183302 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:40:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 183302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't actually tried it, the smell is enough to deter me! I did try my breastmilk though and it tasted warm and sweet, not gross as all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tasted-formula#post-183293 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:35:44 +0000 BananaPancakes 183293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So last night, during my 2 am feeding, the baby started getting fussy and acted like he wasn't getting anything out of the bottle. Seeing as I was in the nursery and it was the middle of the night, I (and without really thinking it through), stuck the bottle in my mouth and took a swig. </p> <p>Holy hell, was it disgusting! I had to breathe to keep from throwing up. Seriously. I was so surprised and can't believe my son acts like it's nothing. In fact, he doesn't seem to show a preference between a bottle of formula and a bottle of breastmilk. And breasmilk tastes 1000% better. </p> <p>Has anyone else tried their LO's formula? Were you as equally appalled as I was? </p>
