/50 -add as superfat. I like the third method better because I can make sure lye is all dissolved and bm is least affected by lye.
Yeah I have a 10 day old baby and will begin pumping soon. All the milk will be for her though. Power to those that choose to do this but not for me. I'll save the milk for my little girl!
I have some thoughts, here. People often have a hard time figuring out why we humans have such an adverse reaction to things that are a natural part of life. But, there is a reason for it. Apparently, most people just don't realize it.
I believe that breast feeding and breast milk related things and discussions outside of its intended use become a huge debate for one reason.
We see the baby who receives the milk as an innocent child, and yet it's coming from a place which has a huge "sexual" intrigue (for lack of a better word). This little seemingly contradictory fact makes combining the two ideas a bit sacrilegious.
This is also why people are uncomfortable with public breast feeding. You are doing something beautiful and natural, yet I'm looking at something that turns me on.
Why people ignore this important aspect of the debate is beyond me.
This is why, I believe that breast feeding in public is fine, but the mother should show a bit of decency and decorum while doing it.
Like-wise, breast milk soap is fine, but you're just weird if you're not uncomfortable with washing all over your body with something that was meant for someone innocent, but came from a place related to sexuality.
There! Something I've been wanting to say for years.
Don't write it off completely! As a mom who has nursed 3 babies, I can assure you you'll do something to mess up a bottle of pumped milk at least once. Like forget to put it in the fridge or loose a bag in the back of the freezer for 2 years. Soap isn't a bad idea when stuff like that happens!
