Re: “Soapy” tasting breastmilk “I have also seen babies drink it with no complaint.” …and ”I've had mothers say the baby will not accept milk that has this strong odor and others who say the baby couldn't care less.” Having tasted my own breastmilk (decades ago of course!) I know how really good it tastes! Sweet – rich … I often used it when I was out of cream for my coffee! (confession time!) Now – how many of you have actually tasted ABM – Artificial Baby Milk – FORMULA?! Please – do everyone a favor – try it! Then, you can tell mothers from experience just how ‘nasty’, chalky, gaggy – it tastes. Then – no one will be surprised at the baby who is still happy to drink his mother’s milk – even soapy or altered! It’s still better than ABM!
