hi everyone!
being a new mother to a bubbly (though sometimes fussy) 2 month old boy, i hope to seek the members' opinion here regarding the smell, taste and texture of thawed EBM.
having frozen my excess EBM just last month, i hv just started to thaw the first batch by leaving them in the refrigerator compartment overnight. after warming the BM, I detected that it has a slight odour (not strong, but certainly a distinctive odour) and taste (again, not sour, but a distinctive tinge). The texture (before being warmed) of the half-thawed BM also looked a bit thick.
seeing this for the first time, I am not sure if my BM has turned bad :elvis: would be surprised if it did since I had frozen it immediately and handled it as instructed by most textbooks!
pouring it away sends stabs of pain through my heart.....
anyone has encountered something like this??? how do you know for certain if the BM has gone bad?
many thanks
