Hi Tammy,
Actually, there should be a lot in the archives on this -- of course, trying
to figure out the subject line is a whole 'nuther ball game! This is
probably related to the lipase activity in her milk -- Ruth Lawrence has a
good section on this in her text. I think she recommends bringing the milk
just to scalding before storing it -- but I could be wrong on this and I
don't have time to look it up. I"m sure some other Lactnetters probably know
it by heart...
The second thing you might have her try is to pump & store in glass bottles
rather than plastic. I've found this helps some moms quite a bit.
