I have a client that after 5 months started to have her baby refuse her
milk in a bottle only and she smells it and it smells bad and "taste"
rancid. Like, she has to drink something else just to get the taste out of
her mouth. She has been pumping all along and breastfeeding. She had stored
up alot of milk in the freezer early on and at 3 months would have no
problems smelling or baby refusing the milk for when she was away.

Now at 5 months... only some of the milk smells stronger and appears to go
rancid. She changed from the plastic collection bottles and bags as only
some of them would be bad smelling and tasting to new glass bottles. She
had a short period of all is well and smell and rancid taste were gone.
Now, the baby just refused a bottle yesterday of pump breastmilk from a
glass bottle and mom noticed that the smell and rancid taste was back.

Question: can too much lipase be so wishy washy with some milk collected be
ok while other times, goes rancid? She just mentioned that she pumped after
she breastfed and immediately that milk smelled strong and tasted rancid as
well.

Any thoughts? Her diet has just about been the same daily. She said she
eats the same things every day. She is healthy in her diet. She does take a
fish oil but has been taken it all along. In her area, there is a problem
with to much hard water. But again, nothing new from the beginning. Just
thoughts to throw out there.

Her question is, is this something that she has to worry about for next
baby and just start boiling ALL milk after expressing it so none of it will
ever taste or smell bad?

Thanks!
