Dear Lactnetters, I have received a question that I can't answer. I have tried searching the archives, but found nothing. I have permission to share this story. The mother of an eight month old baby is pumping and storing milk for use while mother is at work. Recently the mother found several containers of milk that was still liquid after three days in the freezer. The cream had separated and the milk looked and smelled normal. The mother feared the milk was unsafe and discarded it. The containers were found on different days. Other containers alongside contained milk that was frozen solid. New containers of milk froze readily. No one tampered with the milk, as far as the mother knows. (She and the baby's father were the only people with access to the freezer during the time the milk stayed liquid.) The freezer appears to be operating normally. The containers are all the same. The mother always pumps in the morning before leaving for work. I asked if she drinks alcohol and she said she drinks wine with dinner. She does this regularly, though, with no apparent effect at other times. I would be grateful for any information or ideas.
