# A mom has just asked me if she can make yogurt with her breastmilk.
I know, after reading Fiona Giles´ book "Fresh Milk" that ice cream
can be made, but I don´t know about yogurt. I suggested she use
kephir, which is what I use (adding cow´s milk to it, cow milk yogurt
is made). #


I tried that about four years ago, and it didn't really work out :) .
The result was not thick (it was very watery), and the structure was
not smooth but more like thin slimy clumps here and there ;) . I
thought the antimicrobial properties in fresh human milk prevented the
yogurt bacteria from working like they should have.
