BFing moms who scald milk for excess lipase

[azurely]

Do you notice that your frozen milk seems fattier after being thawed?

Whenever we give C a bottle of frozen and scalded BM, the bottle is coated with fat afterward, but it doesn't happen with bottles of fresh BM. I know the lipase plays a role in breaking down the fats in the milk, so I guess it makes sense, it's just weird.

Hmm...I had to scald milk with Dd1 and I don't remember any difference in fat along the bottle, but she almost never had non scalded milk either. So...basically I'm no help

I've noticed the previously scalded/frozen milk iseems like it doesn't stay emulsified as well, even when warm, compared to fresh milk. My guess is that more of the fat is just separating out and getting left behind, not that it is actually fattier. I've never had any idea if this is due to scalding or to the freeze/thaw process itself.
