Unfortunately, when breast milk has gone bad, there is not much to do with it. However, if you find frozen breast milk at the bottom of your freezer, don’t throw it out right away. If the milk has been in a freezer for longer than six months, you shouldn’t feed it to your baby. There are other uses for expired thawed milk.
As long as the milk doesn’t smell rancid, you can add breast milk to your baby’s bathwater. This can help their skin feel extra soft. You can also make breast milk lotion or soap with old milk.
Breast milk baths, soaps, and lotions help with several skin conditions. You can use it on your baby or yourself. It can help with eczema, cradle cap, diaper rash, and acne.
