Even though they smelled awful to me she seemed to think they were fine. </p> <p>She is also really picky about the temperature of food now as a toddler, though, so it may just be a quirk of hers.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2679301 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 23:27:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2679301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newlypregnantlady: a 50:50 ratio would be awesome. </p> <p>Ideally If I can pump about 10 ounces a day then hopefully I can top it off with up to 5 extra ounces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2679300 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 23:26:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2679300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: sadly I'm pumping and sending to daycare the next day and in that overnight period (up to 24 hrs later) the milk tastes bad. So it has to be scalded unless I were to somehow drop it off at daycare the same day I pump it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678870 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:41:44 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2678870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mixed frozen lipase milk with fresh pumped to dilute the taste a little and both kids took it well. I also tried to stop freezing as much as possible and used as much fresh as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678856 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 12:31:14 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2678856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did what @mrswin: did as well and was eventually able to mix it up to 50/50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678782 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:40:56 +0000 MrsSCB 2678782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest what @mrswin: said -- could you mix what you pump with the frozen, and maybe that will dilute it enough to taste better to her? So you don't have to go through the work of scalding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678763 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:31:39 +0000 mrswin 2678763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: We were able to mix it with fresh milk, about a 25% frozen 75% fresh ratio. I was sooo sad when we realized why she was refusing since I had a ton in the freezer at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678690 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 10:55:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2678690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Im hoping that now that she's adjusted to the bottle we can wean her towards the milk with lipase and she wont care! Dreaming about a day I can come home from work and not have to scald milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678678 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 10:49:19 +0000 winniebee 2678678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first son didn't drink the lipase milk as well (but he wasn't a great eater anyways) so I tended to mix it. My second son had no trouble with frozen milk with excess lipase in it - he pounded bottles of whatever the heck you gave him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678632 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 09:56:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2678632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: Ive never heard that but I'm off to google it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678597 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 09:10:00 +0000 peaches1038 2678597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had high lipase and I couldn't get DS to drink the frozen stash I had before I realized it. Thankfully, I had a high supply and was able to pump what he needed fresh until he was 14 months old. I ended up donating it to a mama whose baby didn't mind the taste. I hadn't heard of the vanilla trick though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678590 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 08:51:08 +0000 peachykeen 2678590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have this issue myself but I have heard of several moms who have had success adding a drop or two of non-alcoholic vanilla extract to high lipase milk to get baby to drink it.</p> <p>Obviously makes sense to try mixing fresh &amp; frozen first, but might be worth a try if it doesn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-frozen-milk-supply-with-lipase#post-2678583 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 08:37:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2678583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have over 200 oz in my freezer that I stored before we realized my milk probably had lipase. She originally took a bottle very young so I started pumping and freezing. Then at 3.5 months we reintroduced the bottle and she wouldn't take it. After 3 weeks of refusal we scalded the milk and now at daycare she's taking it fine. </p> <p>I'm hoping there is still hope I can use this freezer stash! I'm already barely pumping 12 oz and she probably needs at least that, if not more like 15-16oz. I'm going to start by trying to do a 3:1 ratio of scalded vs frozen to see if we can dilute it enough that she would still drink it. If you tried this, what was the ratio you went with? Were you ever able to get to fully using the frozen lipase milk from a bottle? I know I can save it for solids but we want to do as much BLW as possible so there wont be much opportunity for mixing with purees. </p>
