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.
