Just milk

Breastfeeding is the most elaborate gift a mother can ive her child: it’s fluid love, food, nurturing and protection; medication and vaccination; developmentl support for body and mind. Throughout history and the world to be breastfed or not could mean life or death. And still, breastfeeding is just a bodily function and a mother’s milk is just milk. Breastfeeding is ultimately special and very normal. Mom’s milk is a magical substance and still just milk. That can make things difficult to understand for moms and others. Breastfeeding extraordinary extra-special and still there this woman is nursing in the train; mom’s milk is almost as sacred as church-wine and still that mom makes pancakes with it. Much has been said about what can or may or should or not be done with human milk and most of it is based on nothing. Guidelines for mom’s milk storage are just the same guidelines used for all protein rich foods and those ignore the magical powers (pro-active pathogen attackers) of fresh human milk. It is ‘’forbidden’’ to cook with mother’s milk, that will destroy the previously ignored protective powers in it, while not taking into account that in the end it’s just milk that can be used in almost every recipe calling for milk. (Note: it is not a good idea to boil all milk a child will have, because than indeed he will suffer from insufficient protection!). Oh, and do remember moms: do not run, twist or jump, because your milk may never been shaken, because that just might break down the proteins. Does anyone worry about broken down proteins in their cappuccino’s?
