Cooking With Breast Milk Instead of Dairy Milk

I think it would be worth a go for you and your immediate family.

I would be very upset though if someone fed me or my family something made with breast milk without my prior knowledge.

Could you explain why? I might feel the same way too, but I still can't really articulate WHY I would feel that way, since cow milk should technically be a lot stranger to us than breast milk.

I think it is just the thought of it for some people. I even have some friends who were horrified at the thought that I had BF my friend's baby. They couldn't get their head around it. Don't get me wrong, I don't just go around feeding other people's babies for fun.... My pal and I had babies of the same age, a few months old, and exclusively BF. My friend's dh was critically injured and she had to rush to hospital to be with him. So I had to feed her baby.

Because it is human secretions.

Millions of people routinely drink their own urine - particularly in China - but even the thought is offensive to many.

Yet all of us, including Vegetarians, eat produce fertilized by dung - including from humans

That's really interesting if you think about it. If anything, humans should be more than comfortable consuming THEIR secretions over the secretions of other animals.

You could look at another way in that a large percentage of the world are carnivores so are happy to eat the meat of animals, but very few are cannibals!!

I tried cooking with breastmilk when I weaned my son as he was allergic to dairy. I had a recipe for fish cooked in milk and substituted the dairy milk with expressed breast milk. As far as I can remember he ate it just fine, but the smell of the cooking milk was VILE. It stayed in the house for days and put us right off our food! I have no idea why it smelt so bad, but we never tried it again!
