From LLLI's Breastfeeding Answer Book (1997), p. 191--
"Some mothers have reported a slightly soapy smell to their frozen milk after it was thawed. This change in smell has been attributed to changes in the milk fats related to storage in self-defrosting refrigerator-freezers; it has not been found to be harmful to the baby (Lawrence, p. 619)."
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.
