Frozen milk

I don't think my son likes frozen milk in the bottle. He will drink freshly pumped milk from the bottle but when it comes to frozen milk he fights it. Anyone experience this? Any tips?

Do you let it naturally defrost on the counter then warm it?

Does it smell soapy when thawed? You may have high lipase in your milk and baby doesn't like the taste

You might have to scald it before freeze it. Some babies don’t like the taste. Look up high lipase milk

Like others have said if it smells soapy it may be high lipase. If you can scold it first before freezing. Or mixing fresh pumped with frozen in a bottle

add a few drops of alcohol free vanilla extract

I have high lipase. My baby won’t drink milk frozen longer than a week. The longer it’s frozen the more it tastes like soap

Just wanted to add to the above comments, my son won’t take frozen milk either regardless of it being scalded Him and I (because I tasted it) still tasted soapy due to the lipase So scalding doesn’t always get rid of the soapy lipase taste but it’s worth a try! I have over 200bags of milk and we’re just using it for his baths at this point lol

Thanks everyone for the tips
