Milk going bad..
We finally had nursing down to a "T" along with no nipple confusion with the bottle, Gracie hit her 6wk growth spurt and during that time she just wanted me and started refusing the bottle (figured it was the spurt) well when it was over she continued to refuse the bottle with EBM. A little history I just finished up a round of reglan to increase my supply for pumping to go back to work, which it helped, Gracie would spit-up constantly- from the breast it was undigested straight breastmilk so figured it was either a burp or overeating, but from the bottle the spit up would be soury and partially digested and frequent (at least 2-4x's after eating). Well I did notice that my milk only lasted about 2 days in frige before it would smell sour, but I had pumped (was 4hrs old) and went to give it to her she of course was refusing it- smelled it was fine but tasted it and it was one step before being sour. So now I'm thinking no wonder the kids been spitting up so much I've been feeding her soured milk (the thing is the spitting up hasn't been from the begining- it started increasing weeks later and not sure if it consides with starting the reglan and during the growth spurt where she was only taking breast she rarely spit) and she never refused the EBM at the beg. only during this past week.
My question is has anyone heard that reglan would increase your lipase production to make your milk go bad faster? I'm already trying to scald the milk, but she isn't taking to it very well it tastes soapy/metallicy now. If I can't get it back to normal then I will have to stop pumping and switch to formula because will not be able to scald milk at work. I'm trying to hold out till the reglan is out of my system to see if my theory is correct (reglan is a gastro. drug and lipase is gastro enzyme- has to be a connection/affect), but I only have about 2wks left before work and I'm getting mighty aggitated that I wont have Gracie back on the bottle eating something. Any ideas, please send them my way.
