Breast Milk icecream??!!??

Would you buy it?

I don't know... I've been thinking about it all morning. Someone I know once argued that we all drink cows milk yet the idea of drinking human milk or our milk seems to freak most people out or gross them out yet we're willing to drink milk from an animal... Interestingly kinda funny imo. Maybe it's just because we've been drinking cows milk for years and not human milk so maybe this could kinda make it normal?
Who knows!

I am curious, I don't think it would taste like BM anyway due to the other flavours but at the same time, I haven't tasted my milk - have thought about it but simply don't have the desire to because to me - it's for DD only!

I also disagree with the thing on new mothers willing to feed their NBs if they tried it...

hmm I think I would try it, after all its just human milk, and it must surely be better for you than cows milk.

And out of curiosity, how many of those BFing have tried their own milk? I have, I wanted to know what this stuff my little girl loves so much tastes like. BTW theres a reason why kids have a sweet tooth!!! It is really sweet stuff (and I only tried a few drops).

And honestly, I make it so we shouldn't I drink it too? Thats my additude lol.

Lol Kalimirella, I've tried my own before too, mostly colostrum though since that's all I'm making at the moment. I agree that it is really quite sweet.
I also accidentally had some from a woman once. Long story there (that's not appropriate to be shared here lol) but it just tasted like rather sweet, kind of watery milk. Nothing amazing about that lol since it IS milk.

No way, I would never try it, yuck!

lol I just came on here to post the same link! I've tried a drop of mine once or twice (licked it off my arm lol) and it does taste nice, but I wouldn't want to try anyone elses!!
Also, I'm not convinced about the shot of pamol that comes with it?!

I think it's a terrible waste, to be honest. Breast milk is like liquid gold! I'd rather donate mine to a needy baby than give it to someone to make ice cream.

Me three. I know it sounds cliche, but what about all those babies in third world countries that could really do with breast milk, and instead it's being made into a novelty ice cream!

As a chef im incredibly curious as to how it works, the different fat content in milk makes for very different ice-cream textures and requires different processes to 'work'. Very curious indeed.

Though as a b/feeder i'm a little horrified to think of it going to be food, i know the effort involved in making it!

Considering using some of my ebm to make a batch out of curiosity from a professional standpoint, can't imagine churning it out commercially though.

Although, some third world countries the mums do BF and manage to BF past 1 year...

Ditto! Definitely agree!
