Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Can breastmilk be made into yogurt? Just wondering. I had so much left over that I froze last time. I just want to make the most out of the overabundance of milk this time around. Not that I am pregnant yet though:) Thanks. Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi Jenn, > Awesome. I assume you wouldn't want to boil it just mix in the starter and > let it cook? I don't know if there is anyone currently on the list who has done it but if you are looking at it as a " vehicle " to get good bacteria in then yes you would have to heat it as you do when you make regular yogurt - otherwise other bacteria in the milk may take over the fermenting process. > Can you give this kind of yogurt to little babies, newborns > etc? I can't see why not, but you could double check with your pediatrician or family doctor to be sure. > Would you have to use a specific starter for this? Any legal starter should work.

Thanks for your help There are antibodies and nutrients in breastmilk. If you want to turn breastmilk into yogurt then you have to heat it first otherwise the good bacteria in the yogurt starter won't be able to reproduce. If you are just looking for the antibodies and nutrients in breastmilk you shouldn't do anything to it. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
