Odd Question - Breastmilk Smells/Tastes Like Soap?


A friend of mine has a two month old son . She's going out for the evening and took some of her frozen ebm out and it apparently smells and tastes like soap . She's tried a few different bags all the same thing . Baby refuses to take it . She called me thinking I might have some idea why but I'm clueless . Any ideas ?

She uses the lansinoh milk storage bags .

Nevermind , found the answer . I guess high levels of lipase can cause this and scalding the milk before storage can inactivate the lipase and stop the process of fat digestion.
