Congrats danni! I hope you have a wonderful and long nursing relationship! I too am a breastfeeding mom for almost a year now (I will be in total denial of her 1 year bday until it is actually here in 2 weeks!).

I understand it makes some people uncomfortable since we're talking human boobs here and they are mostly seen as sexual. However, why is it that human milk (which, btw, is nutrition made just for humans) is seen as disgusting and cow or goat milk (which is nutrition made for cows and goats) is normal? Don't take this as me being anti-cow/goat milk. It just seems weird that something pumped out of another species is normal to eat in different formats (cheese, yogurt, etc) and the same liquid pumped out of our species is weird.

I think making cheese with breast milk is a little weird, but I don't think it's gross. Unless a mom has one of few diseases (like HIV/AIDS and a few others), human breast milk is actually sanitary. It has antibodies that fight off bacteria and keep the milk "clean."
