Mothers milk no longer exists ?

I've never posted in this topic before but think this is the right place. I was getting some breastmilk out of the freezer this morning and noticed that the storage bags I bought only 1 year ago have Mothers Milk written on, fyi the storage bags are that old the milk inside is not. However I just recently purchased the same storage bags, using the same company, same bags, and this has been removed? Is it just a new design? Or is it for all of the chest feeding "mothers/fathers?" out in the world? At this point I'm just happy it still has breastmilk written on, although assuming that will be changed to chest milk in the near future sigh. Am I being unreasonable to let this annoy me? I know its not the AIBU topic. It could very well be a coincidental design change, although I highly doubt that.

Is there a lot of odd posts this evening or is it me?
Surely the whole point of breastfeeding is the interaction between Mother and child. The milk composition adapts to the babies needs.
You shouldn't be able to buy breastmilk and store it! The commodification of women's bodies is disgusting.

No one has bought breastmilk? I'm sorry if there's been a misunderstanding.

Awww when my daughter was born I wanted to exclusively breastfeed but due to some weight issues the hospital made me formula feed. Basically because I am stubborn, I combi fed and I definitely found myself saying to my daughter 'lets find some Mummy's milk', I suppose to differentiate it from 'lets get a bottle'. Not sure I said it to anyone else other than my newborn though

@WithOneLookaw that's so sweet 🥰 I think my wife has said it a couple of times to our newborn when he's crying and I'm busy, along the lines of "aww baby don't worry you can have mummy milk soon".
Maybe mothers milk has more of an emotional/personal sentiment to it so they've updated the packages to be more clinical.
