Diane reports:
<<Mother tasted the milk and reports
that it has a soapy taste. She thawed another portion and it also had a
soapy taste. She freezes her milk in Gerber milk storage bags. Her LLL
leader has told her that this is from excessive amounts of lipase in her
breastmilk. >>
This isn't noticeable until mom stores/freezes her milk and it thaws. She
can scald her milk before freezing it -- that often works, but before she
does anything, I would suggest she try storing her milk in glass containers
rather than the plastic bags. She could just try a couple of bottles and see how
it goes before she resorts to scalding the milk. Lawrence has quite a bit
on this in her book.
