Toddler complaining my milk is "too hot" - any ideas? I'm pregnant if that's any clue...

I'm about 9-10 weeks pregnant and DD 21 months still feeds on demand pretty frequently day and night in addition to a good diet.

But lately she's been having a few mouthfuls, then complaining it's "hot"! Confused

I've checked that there are is still milk there (never been able to express much but droplets come out still on a quick squeeze)

It's not stopping her, I'm not worried - just curious! Any ideas?

I wonder if by "hot" she means tastes different? could it have a "tang" which she relates to spicy?

A quick google reveals that breastmilk can taste salty when you are pregnant...maybe that's what she means?

Hmm might be it! :)

Dd3 complained mine was wrong. She did drink more drinks too so salty would tie in.

Oodsigma (love the name btw!) when did that start for you? I thought 9 weeks was too early for any changes...

Dd3 complained pretty much from conception. She was the reason I tested and eventually found out ( no idea of dates due to pill Hmm) I was 3 weeks when I tested and she had been complaint for a few days!

Wow - that quickly! I reckon that must be it then! :)

DS1 used to feed when I was pregnant and often asked for a drink of water afterwards. I think it probably did taste salty as NeoMaxi mentions.

I was convinced my dates were out but ds looked pretty spot on for their dates so my milk must have changed on conception.
It changes again at approx 6 months
