My daughter Lexie had fresh milk when she was injured, and it was
delicious! The mother had been eating a lot of chocolate when she
pumped it so she said it looked like white milk but tasted like
chocolate milk. The mom who donated the milk also gave us some frozen
milk and Lexie just never could drink the frozen. She said it tasted
funny. I added chocolate to it, and made some other things with it, but
the fresh was what Lexie enjoyed.
I do think that most babies don't get frozen milk when they can talk.
Most mothers stop pumping at about a year, even if they go on, as I did,
to nurse years. So frozen milk is mostly given to babies who are unable
to communicate their preference. My 2nd child refused to take any
milk--fresh, frozen, cold, warm, it had to be direct from the source.
So I guess she was stating her preference.
I was in a LLL conference session once, about the taste of breastmilk.
I was there with my then still nursing 4 year old and I knew a few
others in the room were also nursing older, talking children. The
speaker was talking about how they "tested" the milk and they said they
smelled it. I asked why they didn't find older nurslings to ask, and
she said there were so few older children who were old enough to talk.
I chuckled as did the others in the room who were nursing very
opinionated older children. I certainly think that the right researcher
could get together some older nurslings and moms and run some
experiments on taste in milk... It could be not only on fridge vs
freezer vs fresh but also on last night mom had garlic vs last night mom
had chocolate.
