I have once drank a freshly pumped bottle of my own milk. My daugther was about 4
weeks old and we were on our first outing. She wasn't nursing yet, but drank pumped
milk (inverted nipples & hospital incompetence & my determination to give mothers
milk). I had brought enough pumped milk & the mini electric to pump on site. BUT... then
I had no place to put the filled bottle, so I drank it. It tasted like cardboard. So I can
imagine someone describing it as disgusting... A small drop tastes sweet, but a mouthful
doesn't taste that good, in my experience.

Since then I understand why small children like to eat magazines, newspapers and
books...
