    DH thought it was gross, I thought it was a good idea

    I have a 4 month old DD who is BF. Anyway I had some left over EBM, that I put in the fridge yesterday and forgot to freeze. Anyway I thought rather than wate it, I would give it to my nearly 3yo. He liked it and drank it all.

    Anyway I told DH that I had given him the EBM, and he thought it was Gross! He seems to think that it should only be for the baby. Although he agreed, better not to wate it.

    I can't convince him to have it in his coffee yet though!!!!

    Seems like a good idea to me. When you think about it, much more natural than giving the milk of a whole other animal (cow)!

    Hehe isn't it funny tho... Your Dh would't of bat an eyelid if you gave it to your son 3yrs ago... Why is it that EBM gets 'gross' over age ???

    But, some 3yo still get BF! How is EBM any different? I swear, people think human milk is for tiny babies and cow milk is for real people....

    Lots of mums give their toddlers EBM. It's not going to do any harm and I don't think it's gross at all!

    Great idea giving it to your three year old, I would do the same thing. You would never convince me to put it in my coffee either, LOL.

    I think it was good for him when I fed him, so it is sitll good for him now ! I have afriend with so much excess milk that her whole family has it on their breakfast cereal. Better than throwing it out!

    Good idea Nadine

    I knew what this thread was about before I even opened it BTDT myself, DD didn't like it but its certainly not gross.
