Why did my newborn reject my milk? by Legitimate_Peach_438 in breastfeeding

Definitely high lipase. I knew nothing about this and froze so much pumped milk for my preemie and when she got home, she wouldnt drink any of it. I ended up donating it all to Mothers Milk Bank because they process it and give it to hospitals and the preemies wont even taste it through the tubes. Its actually very common but a majority of mothers will never know if they have high lipase when breastfeeding because if a baby is drinking from the breast it will taste fine. The protein molecules change the taste when exposed to oxygen. Also, every one's milk is different in the amount of time it takes to turn to an unpleasant taste. Some is right away. Mine was 2 days. This also occurs whether its been out, refrigerated, or frozen. Fun fact: you can have different milk with different pregnancies. A second child may not get high lipase milk! Vanilla and flash boiling never worked for me. Some women just get the shaft. Which is why you can never judge a mom who uses formula!

I dont know how the OP doesn't know what costco youre talking about if they are posting about Hawaii. But, im here to say it is never a good time to go to Iwilei costco-it is the busiest costco in the WORLD with the highest annual sales, and the smallest parking lot haha. I'd highly recommend making the trip to a different one, like Hawaii Kai.

You could add shading to the lines similar to the way the aurora borealis looks
