She drank some of the other frozen with no issue. </p> <p>I resorted to scalding because she will drink it fine if it is fresh but not if it has been frozen. In order scald we heat it in a pan until small bubbles form around the outside (approx 195F). I wouldn't worry about it if your LO will drink it without issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scalded-breast-milk-turned-brown#post-2478977 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:40:16 +0000 pinkcupcake 2478977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: aw I'm sorry to hear :( do you think it's the milk or does she dislike bottles? </p> <p>I had a high lipase issue but never tried scalding my milk. Do you just heat it super high without boiling it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scalded-breast-milk-turned-brown#post-2478970 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:31:22 +0000 mrswin 2478970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: @Jess1483: @Mamaof2: Thanks for the ideas ladies...moot point because she refused to drink it so my SO dumped the 16oz :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scalded-breast-milk-turned-brown#post-2478094 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 08:31:01 +0000 Mamaof2 2478094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No never had that happen but I also scalded immediately after pumping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scalded-breast-milk-turned-brown#post-2478043 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:52:49 +0000 Jess1483 2478043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. And I've actually accidentally boiled some a couple times. Maybe a reaction with the pan? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scalded-breast-milk-turned-brown#post-2478015 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:26:25 +0000 FaithFertility 2478015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but mine looked green when left in fridge?!<br /> Maybe it burned?! Or there was residue in pan from doing it before that mixed with milk?<br /> Just thinking of reasons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scalded-breast-milk-turned-brown#post-2478012 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:22:20 +0000 mrswin 2478012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has this ever happened to anyone?? I have to scald my milk for high lipase otherwise my DD will not drink it. On Saturday I scalded the milk I had left over from the week. Once it had cooled I noticed that it had turned brown, similar in colour to a latte :shocked:</p> <p>Still smells normal and my SO is going to try and use some for a feeding today. </p> <p>Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen? </p>
