lavender's green Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 If you eat asparagus, your milk will stink to high heaven. :svengo: That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEJ Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I never noticed that one! Lol. Mine would have been, if you eat black beans, you DC wills scream his head off for two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 :lol: Make that reason #458 I don't eat asparagus. Oh, but I was taking a lot of fish oil after DS#2 was born, and my stored milk stunk like a fish market. Baby still drank it, though. Yuck.

fraidycat Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Never thought if that, but it makes sense! Because it does the same thing to urine. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alef Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 LOL. I know a mom whose baby refused to breast feed for two days after she ate fish. Glad mine haven't done that, I like fish.. I have heard babies tend to prefer flavors they were exposed to in utero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I never noticed that one! Lol. Mine would have been, if you eat black beans, you DC wills scream his head off for two days. This is something that has always perplexed me. Bean discomfort is caused by indigestible stuff, right? So, if you can't digest it, how would it end up in breast milk? (My nurslings were never bothered by beans or, thankfully, any peculiar diet-related flavorings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender's green Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Luckily baby doesn't seem to mind it. But I do! (makes my breastpads stink. I change them out often, of course, but still...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I can't detect asparagus metabolite in urine, so I guess I wouldn't be able to in breastmilk either. Lucky me, I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Really?! I have a bunch of asparagus in my fridge and a breastfeeding baby... I think I smell a science experiment brewing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Dup. Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I hate serving asparagus because it makes everybody's pee stink (I had 3 in diapers until recently, now I just have 2). Nasty! I had no idea it made breastmilk stink too, blech! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi K Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I hate serving asparagus because it makes everybody's pee stink (I had 3 in diapers until recently, now I just have 2). Nasty! I had no idea it made breastmilk stink too, blech! Of topic, but kinda' funny....... We live in a house with a septic system. As far as I knew, it was in good working order, but sometimes, I would smell an'off' smell that I assumed was gas from the plumbing backing up in the house. I kept mentioning it to DH and he would get around to checking it but never noticed the odor or any trouble. But, darn it!, something smelled funny. It finally occurred to me that I was only noticing it in the day or two after I made asparagus for dinner. I make it because I love it but no one else is a real fan. So, I end up eating almost the entire bunch. No wonder no one else noticed the smelly 'plumbing smell'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
