Pardon me if this has been discussed before.  However, a search of the
archives did not yield a match.  A mother of a six week old infant, who
nurses very well, left a bottle of thawed breastmilk for her husband to feed
the baby while she went to a wedding shower.  The baby refused the milk and
waited patiently for her return.  She first thought this was just the baby
waiting  for her, but the next day, he refused to take thawed breastmilk
again, this time from the grandmother.  Mother tasted the milk and reports
that it has a soapy taste.  She thawed another portion and it  also had a
soapy taste.  She freezes her milk in Gerber milk storage bags.  Her LLL
leader has told her that this is from excessive amounts of lipase in her
breastmilk.  He continuies to nurse well with no sign of rejection when at
the breast.

Does anyone have information to share with me for this mother?
