I had some frozen breast milk from early January. When I took it out baby wouldn't take it (that's another question) so I tasted it and it tasted the way spit up smells - NASTY - why would it be bad after being frozen for only 2 months? I could also use advice on giving baby the bottle - anyone try the breast bottle?

Dethawed breast-milk does smell a bit nasty.
To make sure that it is still good, freeze expressed breast milk in a chest freezer shortly after expressing it. If you feed a baby a bottle of expressed breast milk, the leftovers must be thrown out and not frozen.
When bottle-feeding try to press the nipple against the top of her mouth to encourage sucking. Some babies like certain bottles better than others, you will discover that through trial and error.

That is weird, the milk shouldn't have been bad. I could never get my boys to take a bottle, neither of them, ever. So I gave up. My older son used a cup very early (just for fun at first) and my younger son didn't use a cup well until he was almost 10months old. When they were good with a cup I gave them some breastmilk in the cup but like I said, I gave up on the bottle, they weren't having any of that.

Is anything else from the freezer effected? Maybe it lost power at some point. Also if you have an old style fridge where the freezer compartment is in the fridge-one main door and then a small plastic door covering the freezer you can only store milk in that kind of freezer for 2 weeks.

Could have freezer burn or pick up other smells from your freezer just like anyother food can.

I'm sorry but that's truly repulsive.
