It has been thought that the taste of our breastmilk can change after exercise, due to a raise in lactic acid levels. This theory appears to have been debunked in this study:

There is evidence, however, that what we eat can affect the taste of our milk – and that babies can have preferences:

There are many stories of mothers (and others!) who have tasted breastmilk for a variety of reasons.
What do you think – does your baby seem to have preferences? Do you have a story of drinking your own milk or someone else tasting it?
My son always says boobie milk tastes of vanilla and strawberries.
That’s so cute Zoe! They often seem to liken it to something sweet and yummy, don’t they?
