to have just drunk 200mls of my own breastmilk?

[TheBreastmilksOnMe]

I rather over-enthusiastically defrosted too much. Im trying to get my 12 week old to take from a bottle for my return to work in june but as you can tell it wasnt a success and not wanting to waste it, whilst she latched on and had a feed i polished off the milk in the bottle. My stomach did flip a little at the thought but i thought, why not? I made it, there's a lot worse bodily fluids you can drink and it actually wasnt too bad. It had a very slight taste of baked beans (i've had them for lunch 2 days running now) but not unpleasant at all. Am i weird?

It got me thinking, of all the benefits in breastmilk, as a consumer do i reap these now or do i benefit from being a lactator anyway so dont need to consume? I'm definitely weird.

I tried mine and it was gorgeous. Really creamy and sweet, like melted good ice cream.

Had same situation as you but don't like milk so made a hot chocolate. It was fine.

Done it plenty of times when been apart from my toddler and had to express. Seems a shame to waste all those vitamins and mysterious wonder ingredients - I have to knock it back in one though as I don't like the thought of it, as silly as I know that is.

When I was a kid my dad told me the flavours of what you ate would come through in your milk, and that bm tasted faintly like melon juice (part of a discussion about birds and bees, not a propos of nothing!). I asked him how he would know, and he replied "how do you think?"

I heaved slightly.

But I have no problem with people drinking human milk, I just don't want to think about my parents doing stuff! I expressed loads for DD but she wouldn't take it from anything other than a boob, so I poured it on DH's frosties. he couldn't tell the difference.
