Breast milk smells like sulphur

[Anonymous]

My milk will have this smell after it has been frozen no matter what I ate. I have always followed the rule of 10 hours at room temperature and feed my DD for the first year of life following this rule and she was fine. I have heard that if they still eat it even though it may have that sulfur smell that it is okay.

I have the same problem with thawed milk. I thought my freezer was bad glad its not just me

Way old post, but yes, this is lipase. It comes and goes for me, which is weird. It looks/smells "bad" after a few hours (in fridge, in freezer, or out). If you taste it, it's disgusting (fizzy, off). But as long as your kid will drink it, it's fine to feed it. If I have a bottle that smells especially bad I'll put the vitamin D drops in that one to help offset it, but honestly, DS doesn't seem to care.

Its too hot to leave milk out that long. Save it for when its not 90 degrees.

I have a 5 month old and only once had my breast milk smelled like sulfur. I had a house warming (and a few drinks) and was giving my baby frozen milk but the next day in the afternoon I pumped and tested it with the strips to see if it had alcohol in it (it didn't) but I put it I the fridge to mix with cereals and noticed that it smelled. So maybe it's a bit of alcohol? I don't pump all the time only once in a while to mix with cereal and it only smelled the day after I had alcohol.

My milk never smelled like rotten eggs, but just funny. I have that lipase issue PPs mentioned.
