Should Adults Be Consuming Breast Milk?
- mkoryak 3y agoHard no for me. I had some breast milk when I had my first kid to see what it tastes like. It was really really gross. It tasted like it had too much iron. Reminded me of drinking a bloody nose. No thank you
- newsuser 3y agoIt can't be iron though, as it's not soluble in milk. In fact, that's the reason why, in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, babies stock iron for the first 4-6 months of (postpartum) life, basically, for all the way up until eating solids, and why pre-term babies have to be supplemented with iron because they didn't have a chance to complete stocking.
- mkoryak 3y agoI am no biologist, but I recall the taste being like the aftertaste you get after you drink blood

- gnicholas 3y agoTLDR from the last paragraph: pretty much no.
- basisword 3y agoIt’s more “we don’t know” than no I feel like.
- gnicholas 3y agoThat's your takeaway from this paragraph? > Tasting your own breast milk or using it topically on your baby's skin from time to time is likely fine — and could even have some benefits. But, "I do not believe we are at the point where we can recommend human breast milk supplements for adult consumption" or even drinking the liquid regularly to reap any purported benefits, notes Wallace. After all, "we need to learn more about its safety and even more so about how it would benefit adult health or not," she says. There a plenty of other milk options out there these days — for now, just stick to those. It literally ends by saying you should stick to other milk options.

- bmacho 3y agoDoes the answer "no" to this type of questions mean that it is recommended against to consume breast milk, or "no" can mean that there is not enough evidence that would imply that consuming breast milk would be essential (or even beneficial in any way)?
