Permission to post from mom.
Mother called me today concerned because her frozen breastmilk is has a metallic
smell to it.  She checked a few bags, from different dates, all about a month old. She
doesn't want to feed her baby the milk, because it smelled so bad.
I recently had a mother in one of my support groups complaining about the same
problem. Her baby refused the milk. I know milk can smell soapy, but what about
metal smelling? Is this one of the reasons to heat up milk after pumping, before
freezing it?
Thanks in advance.
