    Yeah, I didn't find it terribley sweet, just... thin and milky. Different. But not sweet. Might have been my diet though - I'm more of a savory gal, and ate a lot of savory when breastfeeding rather than sweets or anything like that. Maybe I should do some experiments when I'm breastfeeding and see if spicy foods or sweet foods make it different? lol

    ETA: My partner had it in coffee and on cereal once because I borrowed milk from the neighbours and put it in baby bottles (all I could think of at the time haha) so I had breastmilk and cows milk in the fridge in baby bottles. Didn't think to label them because my BM always separated so I just chucked them on opposite sides of the fridge. HILARIOUS! But she didn't seem to care. Said it didn't really taste like anything.

    A friend of mine was catching a plane one morning while she was away and had expressed milk in the fridge. Rather than throw it away she made a hot chocolate out of it hehe. I don't see it as a big deal. We drink milk from cows.

    Yes. I wouldn't feed my child anything I wouldn't eat myself. It was too warm and sweet for me - I prefer milk the way nature intended, from a cow and stored in the fridge!

    DH probably has, but really did freak out about me making milk in the first few months and would never admit it if he has.

    Yeah I tasted a drop to see what it was like, and I made DH too because it grossed him out, LOL. It's sweet.
