My dear it's not true...my baby start teething some months ago...and he totally refuses breastfeeding so I switched to exclusive pumping..my last pumping session is usually 9pm and the next is 5am that's a good 8 hours difference and guess what..I pump and give it to my baby.

And what's not true btw what just typed n what I said? If u breastfeed yr baby well at 9pm, n then again at 5am when u wake up, that's good now. But try n go to work without breast feeding or expressing n see what will happen by d time u get back home. Moreover d amount of milk that gathers in a woman's breast within a specific period varies from one woman to d next. It also depends on what d woman eats or drinks.
So u just misunderstood me. I am a mother n did exclusive breast feeding for my kids, yet I had abscess when my son refused breast feeding n in my ignorance I didn't express d milk.
My humble submission

OK, y'all I got this opinion from a nursing mother now.
When she visited her MIL and her baby was ill, her MIL opined that her breastmilk may be bad. And she had to do an experiment to find out.
This mother's milk was taken and poured on the floor where a big black ant (agbusi) could drink it. The ant drank it and didn't die. Hers being bad was then ruled out. Her MIL succeeded in proving her point by getting a mother who stopped breastfeeding 3days prior to the experiment. The ant who took this one died. And her MIL, this woman and the sour milk woman saw this with their eyes.

Has anyone else witnessed the agbusi experiment?

Ignorance is a disease. My wife traveled for 10 days, came back and continued breastfeeding the baby and he was and is still perfectly fine.

very well then,you can give your child milk that has stayed for a decade in your breast if you wish

Madam calm down. Let's start like this. What causes food spoilage
Simple answer =Microorganisms
Mcos such as lactobacillus, enterococcus et al degrade milk by producing enzymes that degrade poly peptide chains in milk into simple amino acids that can be used for their metabolism...
So can milk in the bossom go bad? The answer is no. This is because breast milk is sterile ie free of contamination
Besides breast milk contains some antimicrobial agents but in low and quantities
I think datsall, have a nice night ma'm

Off course it does go sour!milk is proteinous.if egg that is proteinous can get rotten,how much more can breastmilk?...breastmilk gets sour easily compared to egg because the milk from the mammary glands in the breast react with certain enzymes in the breast.

What is your opinion? My advice to you is to stop believing everything you are told. Would you have such a MIL attend and advise your wife? Do you agree with this type testing? If yes, shouldn't she then perform post mortem on the ant to find out if it really died because of sour milk? What if I told you I know of that experiment and within an hour of drinking breastmilk an ant would die? Do you ever wonder why ants don't be all over a woman's breasts trying to lap up spilled breast milk?......just trying to jumpstart your brain to process and analyse information to come to reasonable opinions.

Recently, during a discussion, I heard for the first time that breastmilk goes bad (becomes sour) in the breast if a nursing mother doesn't breastfeed for a long time say 6-7 hours.
As I tried to argue that it couldn't be possible, a nursing mother told me that it is a fact from experience.
Another woman also told me about her neighbour, a nursing mum, who comes back from work and due to the long period she hasn't breastfed the baby, she has to pour cold water on her breast and let's the accumulated milk run off before breastfeeding her baby.
They claim feeding a baby that milk will cause the baby to vomit, stool and become ill.

Well, I had to do my research, thanks to the internet, we are exposed to a vast wealth of knowledge.

I think these women are wrong.
However, I would want to know what your opinions are.
Spinsters and bachelors, you most likely have no contribution to make so I hereby invite mothers to tell us more.

Illiteracy is a disease and I have promised some mothers I'll be letting them in on my findings.
The only thing I can remember was that my mum told me that I rejected her breast milk because it was sour after 3days after my birth. So I was on SMA Gold all through my formative years.

No, it doesn't.
Only if d milk is expressed & not given 2 d baby does it go sour afta some hrs, depending on d temp it's stored.
Also, d mother's breast ll b engorged cos of excess production.
Funny thing dat c'monly happen in this locality (& annoying 4 dat marra) is wen mothers are told dia breast is bad. Hence, they shud stop breastfeeding & go 2 somebody somwia 2 wash d breast. Mtcheew!

I don't believe everything I am told. In this case, I am trying to find out
1. Can breastmilk be sour while still in the breast (because I was told it can)
2. If it can, what could cause it?
3. If it can't, what incidences make many women believe otherwise
4. How can I prove to these women that their belief is erroneous and they should stop depriving their kids of their right- breastmilk

1. Fine....questions what you are told... before trying to find out what do you think? In researching what did you conclude? You should be wise now and know that breastmilk cannot go sour in the breast. 2. It cannot. 3. Because people keep repeating the same myth... and telling of experiments and proofs like the one with the ant.... and people keep believing without question. 4. It is difficult to change one's belief....ever try converting a Muslim to a Christian?...or vice versa? But in this case you may question the person and put them in a psoition to explain and defend their belief. e.g...Do you know...not heard of....do you know of anyone that ever produced sour milk?...anybody in your family?...not even once? Ever know or even heard of anyone milking cows had to throw away the freshly drawn milk because it came out sour? Don't you think you don't know of any such incident because it never happens?

Not knowing about incidents does not mean it never happens. There's always an 'ah' moment when you learn about something which is a fact and has always been. You never knew and you now know. Einstein's discoveries were always there but became known after he discovered them.
Summary, never discard an observation until you can disprove it. Experiments and results can lead to its endorsement as a fact.

So far, I haven't done any experiments; I am an Industrial Chemist and I have other pressing interests.
However, from my little research I think it is a myth which is widely believed even beyond Africa.
Thanks so much for your input.

Whenever you make time...I would be sooo interested to learn about your ehmm...experiment to come to a firm conclusion! After all is said and done....nothing is impossible under the sun.
