What does your breastmilk taste like?

Don't know if I am weird to have tried it now after 8 months, or not to have tried it before?

But anyway, I had a drop, and yesterday mine tasted like a cross between horchata de chufas and lychee juice. I had to think about it for a long time before I got it but that's perfectly accurate!

So... anybody else?

Mine smells like melted vanilla icecream which is lush but tastes more like watered down sweetened cow's milk. Not quite as cultured as yours

Mine tasted like condensed milk - clearly because I'm Northern

I don't even know what horchata de chufas is.

DS says mine tastes like onions

or apples, or in fact whatever comes into his mind!!

jersey milk

horchata de chufas is tigernut juice, very popular in Spain, and delicious

Mine just tasted sweet and a bit watery. Bit non-descript really.

Dc's loved it though

Crazycatlady · 22/03/2009 16:30

mine tastes exactly like the hot soya milk with a vanilla shot that I used to get from Starbucks instead of a coffee when I was pregnant!

Comewhinewithme · 22/03/2009 16:31

Sweet and watery .

Bumperlicioso · 22/03/2009 17:00

Mine was kind of sweet, it was hard to tell as I am such a wuss and would only try a dap on my finger, not because I was squeamish about it being my own fluid but because I don't like creamy things in general. It was pretty gross!

CaptainKarvol · 22/03/2009 17:06

like soya milk. But warm. Bleugh (disclaimer - I hate warm milk in all it's forms!)

jooseyfruit · 22/03/2009 17:07

lol at cosmopolitan boobs.
horchata de chufa is horrid, reminded me of kaolin and morphine medicine.

my milk tastes like melon juice

ChairmumMiaow · 22/03/2009 17:11

I've never tasted mine. I thought about it but couldn't bring myself to try it as I hate milk except on cereal.

MamaHobgoblin · 22/03/2009 20:52

I love Horchata! Sadly, mine doesn't taste that exotic - more like milk from a cereal bowl, if the cereal was sweet and a bit vanilla-flavoured (in other words, not cereal I'd feed my PFB on! ).

Grendle · 22/03/2009 20:57

Mine tastes like melted vanilla ice cream, only more watery unless it's after a feed .

Last time I had a blocked duct I tried a bit to see if it was true that it tastes salty, and indeed it was thick and v salty . (I figured if the dcs were drinking it then I should be prepared to taste!)

I first tried mine in pregnancy and have tasted on goodness knows how many occasions. I even had it in coffee once, which was really nice.

tigerdriver · 22/03/2009 20:59

I believe mine used to taste like gin.
