It's has to with breastmilk. (I picture all men gasping right now and running away from the computer as fast as they can) That's right... breastmilk. MY breastmilk.
I nursed Carsen for 1 year, and plan to do the same with Madelyn. I hated breastfeeding with Carsen at first. I would sit and cry because I felt like such a cow. (it didn't help that the first time Keith saw me pumping he "mooooooo'd at me..." :) But then I learned to enjoy the quiet time with him. Night feedings
But here's my dilema... I'm so curious as to what it tastes like. SO curious. But the thought of actually tasting my own milk grosses me out. Big time. I have dipped my finger in it and taken a lick of it, but that's the farthest I have gone.
I'm not sure if we're going to have any more kids. We both go back and forth. (well, I go back and forth... Keith is
Ahhh... life's dilemmas.
So, it's confession time... have YOU ever tried (or thought of trying) your breastmilk?
I don't have any kids so obviously I haven't tried it, but I would. I've even thought about it. It seems weird but I know curiosity would win out and I'd do it. Go for it.

There was even an episode of Friends where Ross was too scared to do it ... be braver than Ross.
This post made me laugh! I HAVE thought about it... and then just did what you did and dipped my finger in it, so I tasted mostly my finger. I am really curious what it tastes like though. How about you try it and let me know? :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way... nice job with crossing out your words. :)
Hilarious where our minds go as moms! I didn't really have that much curiosity...once I was pouring it into a bottle and it ran down my hand. I almost just instinctively licked it off, but caught myself and decided to wash my hands. I don't know... google what it tastes like. Just kidding--do NOT google that!
ReplyDeleteAs I recall, the first season of Friends...
ReplyDeleteCarol breastfed her & Ross's son. Ross is taking care of his son, and Phoebe drinks the breast milk to check the temperature. Asking what it tastes like, Susan (Carol's partner) answers "It tastes like cantaloupe juice."
I, personally, has just gone with that thought. lol
Hubby says its good! Sweeter than regular milk...mmmm mmm does the body good!
