Hi,
sorry for the long reply.
With my son for the first few months, my body just produced sooooo much breast milk ( I was waking up in huge puddles of milk - my baby and i were wet)
I originally tasted it out of curiosity, then one time i added it to a smoothie.
Then I just decided I wouldn't waste it, and I use to drink it.
I admit it I use to!
I would NEVER drink any other body fluid.
But it's not waste (like urine) it's life giving.
Hope that helps, please don't think I'm too freaky...

First month (after first three days) my milk was pouring, spraying and squirting out all over all the time no matter how many nursing pads I padded my bra with and no matter how many layers of absorbent sweaters I wore. I should have drank it. At the time I thought that would be weird. Live and learn.

My Mom told me she had put some aside for a relative to give me in a bottle. I wouldn't drink it, so my Mom used it in her cereal and in her tea. The milk didn't hurt her. She was never embarrassed she did it, was happy not to waste it.
