    Mine would never take a bottle either. I figured it was more the feel than the taste?! But I'd be interested to hear what others have to say too.

    When my ds was a little baby (4 months or so) he would take ebm - both fresh and frozen but when he was older he would just refuse (from about 8 months or so). I never tried to feed him ebm after that age as he was a big eater so if i wasnt there for a feed i wasnt too concerned. I would be very interested to hear what other experiences there have been. I will add though that when ds weaned at 16 months i was 4 months pg and he kept saying that it was 'yuck' which i am assuming my milk was changing and he wasnt too impressed withthe new flavour range i was making lol

    I wouldn't be suprised if it does taste different, I remember it would smell ghastly when it was defrosted.
