Smelly milk!
« on: January 16, 2006, 08:13:40 am »
my milk smells a bit metallic.
I am working and expressing for the next day.
is it safe to give this milk to my dd?
i read online that it might be an excess of lipase in the milk but i dont like giving her such stinky milk.

Make sure your pump and the container you're pumping into are completely sterilized. The milk you pump is the same she's getting when nursing.

Is this a new smell or has it always been?
