Dear Lactnetters,
    I posted on this subject 3 years ago and never got any feedback and am now posting on behalf of a colleague who has yet joined and enjoyed the ranks of Lactnet.  Since this is a weekend, perhaps more Lnetters will respond.
    I found very little in the archives with the exception of my own 2003 inquiry. This baby is one month old.  Mom has recently noticed "body odor/sweat" odor to her milk (bilaterally) and odor to baby's mouth and breath.  She notices it when she expresses also.  So, this is not entirely like free-standing milk w/ enzymatic activity.
    No meds (including herbs), oversupply, recent mastitis, no known endocrine or metabolic issues, hyperhydrosis, change in liquids or diet etc. Urine/stools normal. We are stymied for etiology.  Although baby will nurse, has recently pulled off some and grimaced.  According to her LC, she has just got things going well and obviously does not want this to interfere.
     Never heard back on similar case in 2003.  On that case I smelled it-more like smelly socks/locker room.  Young mom and she weaned as a result.  The only different variable is this mom has breast implants.  Any ideas?
