I saw that and couldn't believe her sister willingly drank out of the pump cup, twice. "It's like a chai tea latte without the chai"...I had to tell that to my husband haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-8770 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:28:36 +0000 HLK208 8770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never tried it - I probably won't with my next one either even though I'm sure it's normal to try your own.<br /> A friend of mine was a nanny for a mom who pumped and added breast milk into the children's meals (the boys were 3 &amp; 5). My friend was unaware of this so she ate some of their mac and cheese - she said it tasted sweeter than usual. But she was also completely grossed out...at least she hasn't gotten a cold since then, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-8747 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:06:28 +0000 Maysprout 8747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yup, its sweet and tasty. I have a sweet tooth so maybe thats why mines super sweet. I was curious but also taste when thawing frozen supply to see if its ok for LO to drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-7131 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:17:14 +0000 DisneyBee 7131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried a little, and it was sweet. My hubby refused. Hahaha.</p> <p>Formula does not taste as good. Like a PP, it tastes like paste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-7045 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:52:27 +0000 MrsDzo 7045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sampled a drop. I sort of have the belief that if I'm feeding my child something, it had better be something I'd be willing to put in my own body - even if it came from my body.</p> <p>Did I drink a cup of milk? No. Did a squirt a drop on my finger to sample? Yup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-7040 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:49:49 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 7040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tasted a drop. Sweet indeed. But not sure i'd taste more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5904 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:15:01 +0000 Wondermommy 5904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Just like PPs, it was a little sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5863 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 21:48:27 +0000 Red 5863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it's sweet when it's fresh. Frozen breastmilk, however, is hit or miss. Sometimes, it tastes just like the fresh stuff, other times, it has an awful aftertaste. I wonder what causes the difference since they are stored the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5859 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 20:25:34 +0000 erwoo 5859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and it's sweet. However, frozen breast milk...*GAG!!!!* :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5857 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:51:53 +0000 Killer b 5857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! I haven't yet, but now I'm interested. I joked with my hubs that I was going to squirt him in the eye the next time he pisses me off ;) He acted like that was the nastiest thing ever!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5371 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 06:23:02 +0000 hreichard 5371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never tried mine, but my sons father has. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5283 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:48:35 +0000 sandsandmore 5283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried mine. I wanted to know what my son was drinking. It's very sweet. The frozen milk, though, is disgusting, but I have an excess lipase issue, which isn't common. I've also tried formula out of curiosity -- that tastes like paste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5277 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:21:14 +0000 Artsy Butterfly 5277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This made me think of that friend's episode too! It is weird to think about it, but I don't see a problem with people trying their own supply---I would never consider trying someone elses though. That's just far too unsanitary and certain diseases can be transmitted through breastmilk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5274 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:10:21 +0000 Amanda183 5274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep I did..very sweet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5263 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:38:03 +0000 yin 5263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I have. I think the episode of Friends where they drink Carol's breastmilk made it acceptable. My husband was hesitant at first, but he eventually tried it. </p> <p>Now I wonder if anyone has tried formula. I never did when I had to supplement the first month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5261 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:37:29 +0000 Boogs 5261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, I'm kind of skeeved by it. My husband has, though!</p> <p>Have any of you watched the new Tia &amp; Tamera show? One of the last episodes Tia drank her breastmilk, she said her husband loved it (to the point where he wanted his own supply!), and Tamera tried and liked it also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5249 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:18:04 +0000 Andrea 5249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did and I regret it. I may not have #2 so I may never know. Oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5246 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:15:24 +0000 chopsuey 5246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tasted it many many times. :) It's sweet! I try all the food I make my baby too.<br /> I made my husband try my milk a couple of times. HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tasted-your-own-breastmilk#post-5240 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:42:02 +0000 Mrs. Bee 5240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tasted it when I was breastfeeding Charlie, and it had a sweet taste.</p> <p>Have you tasted your breastmilk, or is that just too gross? </p>
