The tasting part seems normal, but proclaiming it across the nation? Tacky. Of course, what did I expect from someone with that much eyeliner?

ITA with Esther. What a dick! And he is wrong.

Breast milk is yummy and sweet, which is partly why babies go crazy for the stuff. Maybe he drank pumped milk that had been sitting out for a while?

Not that I really care, but it is good to hear that she's breastfeeding.

Kari, I totally agree with you.

On the other hand, some people can't disassociate breast milk = bodily fluid...just can't get their minds around it. To them a cup of breast milk may as well be a cup of snot.

Does one issue a press release for this? I can't wait for the "oh my god?! Changing diapers is so hard?!" release.

What a dick! Even if your wife's milk DID taste "sour" and "gross", you don't say it! I've only tasted my own but I thought it tasted like any other milk except much sweeter.

I agree with Kari, but to play devil's advocate...

If it's "gross" to eat a human's flesh, shouldn't it be even more "gross" to eat a cow's? Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the meat industry... But I don't see what's so weird about trying human cannibalism, especially if the person died by accident. Seems natural to be at least a little curious.

Kari is 100% correct, that is what my comment was going to be but she said it first :)

Human Milk is made for Humans. It's pretty simple really.

Not gross at all. It's very natural. I was never breast fed as a baby, but when a dear friend had a baby and was breast feeding she offered me a taste. I took her up on it. Now, what would have been weird was me taking it from her breast! But I didn't, she expressed it into a cup for me. It was entirely too sweet for my taste!

I also tasted my own when I was breastfeeding. It's sour when you taste reheated milk, but fresh is very sweet! My husband enjoyed it!

I see where Kari is coming from, but for some reason, the idea of drinking breast milk totally grosses me out. So does the thought of drinking formula, though.

Then again, I'm not much of a milk person in the first place.

But I don't see what's so weird about trying a human's breast milk, especially if it's your own or your partner's. Seems natural to be at least a little curious.

I tasted my breastmilk and I thought it tasted more or less like any other dairy product, except a little sweeter. Certainly not sour.
