making other products from breastmilk

[mogwai]

someone elsewhere mentioned they made yoghurt from their own breastmilk.

Is this possible? If so, what other stuff can you make? I've never even considered the idea was possible, now I'm intrigued

[mogwai]

Pruni, you are just showing off!

Though I can see a place for a choux bun...

[starlover]

maybe you could have cream cakes made from BM at the passive birth centre!

have just been looking up composition of various milks...
human milk has more lactose than any of the other milks on my table, but lunachic you are right, it seems to be more easily digestible. I've also just read here that people intolerant to cow's milk casein may think they have lactose intolerance as the symptoms are pretty near identical.

and there's more...
Human milk has about the same proportion of fat as cow's milk and goat's milk. But it contains far less protein. So breastmilk yoghurt or butter would be fine but most cheeses wouldn't work very well if you tried to make them from breastmilk. (That's as far as I can tell. I'm not a food scientist or anything. )

How much milk do you have saved up Nik72? Feel like experimenting with it?

[Nik72]

Noooooo! I'm not making cheese out of my breast milk. Or butter.

[SamN]

fair enough. Maybe I'll try myself - when ds2 has weaned so I don't feel too bad about chucking it away if it is awful.

[Nik72]

you could publish a recipe book

beware if you cook with it - it smells foul (although ds1 never seemed to mind)! I made rice pudding with flaked rice, and semolina I think (DS1 would never drink what I expressed for him while he was at the childminder and I couldn't bear to throw it away).
