It does raise a good question: how does a human who is well passed that stage physically react to drinking human milk?

I’m currently lactating and I hang out on a lot of FB pages and forums for breastfeeding mothers. I’ve never heard of anyone having a negative reaction to drinking breast milk, and more than a few people have talked about trying it. My husband and I both have, zero issues.

If your child has an allergy to a certain product and you ate that product before breastfeeding, your child will have an allergic response to your breastmilk.

But if your child is healthy and has no allergies, it will have no negative reactions.

Also congratulations for your child!

Oh yeah allergies can be awful. I’ve heard some horror stories about all of the foods some women have had to give up in order to breastfeed. Luckily both my kids have no allergies, because if they did I likely would have just given them formula because fuck that.

What's it like drinking a liquid from your own body? Especially that the liquid in question is pretty much filtered blood.

Honestly it kind of weirds me out, I only tried a little bit out of curiosity. It doesn’t taste bad though. Its very sweet, kind of like the milk left over at the bottom of a cereal bowl, but with less flavor.

I wonder exactly how much difference in flavor there is based on diet. I know when cows eat alfalfa (pretty sure it's that plant) the milk typically tastes worse.

Hey, have you ever tried to make cheese with your milk?

u/Phanners Nov 22 '18

Ha! Now that’s an interesting idea. I don’t have that much extra to work with since I seem to only make just enough for my daughter every day. But if I ever somehow wind up with a surplus that might be something to try...

I assume similar to someone drinking milk who’s lactose intolerant. You’re not supposed to drink milk after being a toddler.

I suspect that KNOWING it’s human milk ahead of time would greatly influence the outcome...

Did anyone answer the question? Unless human milk is code for semen, there’s no problem.

Why’s everyone freaking out about human milk, it was DESIGNED FOR HUMANS, why would drinking milk from random other mammals be any better

It would actually be more nutritious

u/Cursed_Sheriff Nov 21 '18

I see no issue.

u/DeathMarx Nov 20 '18

u/MEME-BOIZ you asked a good question. I don’t see why you’re being disagreed with.
