What can I feed baby?

Made from mom’s milk

Breastmilk Butter: Just shake a container of expressed milk until you have butter.

Goat milk yogurt recipe,  and another one – try substituting breastmilk

  • If your yogurt comes out too runny, freeze it to make frozen yogurt.

Momsicles Breastmilk Popsicles – also great for teething babies!

Ice cream made in ziplocks or coffee cans (try it with breastmilk)

see also the “Other foods” section below – some of the baby food recipes use breastmilk

Not food, but interesting nonetheless…
