Sorry, the post I was replying to seemed to imply that it was pretty common for babies to not be able to drink breast milk. ---

Allergies to breastmilk are \*extremely \*rare - so rare that I can’t find any numbers online. But they can occur. Generally, however, what is perceived as a breatbilk allergy is a reaction to something in the mother’s diet. But I’ll second the slap on the wrist for the “as she should” comment. It makes me very, very sad that I couldn’t breastfeed either of my babies, and very annoyed that I spend hours a day pumping milk, only to have to supplement with formula because, even with medication, I can’t produce enough milk. And then I’m made to feel guilty by judgemental busybodies who see her drinking (mstly my milk) from a bottle. Screw you and your underinformed opinions! Oh. and about the OP: WTF? I’m a granola crunching hippie mom - I’ve tasted my own milk, and even had a taste comparison with two other lactating moms (it was late, we were a little slap-happy, it was like a wine tasting, only not.) but baby poop? That’s just wrong. An unhygenic. And gross. I’d try breastmilk yogurt or cheese. Just not processed by an actual infant. ---

In reality, I bet if you put some baby shit on a toast point and told some yuppies that it was the latest thing, you’d get some positive responses. ---

> [@Aeschines](#): > > In reality, I bet if you put some baby shit on a toast point and told some yuppies that it was the latest thing, you’d get some positive responses. No, I think you’d get responses along the lines of, “Man, this tastes like baby shit on toast!” I think I’ll start using that phrase regularly. “I feel like baby shit on toast.” “That movie was baby shit on toast.” “This room looks like…” ---

Not if you put a high price tag on it, say $100 per ounce. Said yuppies will think “this tastes like baby shit on toast!” but they will wax poetic on the nuanced flavorings and sophisticated palate of the baby shit; “I detect subtle hints of Gerber pureed pears, berber carpet and plastic”… ---

[hijack] > [@even sven](#): > > Uh, I specifically, could not drink breastmilk. I’ve always had it explained to me that I was “allergic to milk”, and my boyfriend (who, in a wierd set of odds, had the same ailment) said he was told he was “casein intolerant.” Whatever it was, my mom tried to keep feeding me breastmilk and I kept losing weight until I looked like one of the starving children on TV. Only then did the doctor agree to see me. I was apparently a day away from death. Formula saved my life. Hey, I’m allergic to milk too! I couldn’t drink breast milk(or milk in general) so I had formula. I’m not lactose intolerant, just allergic to milk. [/hijack] As for the OP, that’s gross. Poo just isn’t food. ---
