EU. – A mother has caused controversy after revealing on her social media how to make ice popsicles with her excess breast milk for her family to enjoy, and even her husband consumes them and says they are his favorite.
Since giving birth to her second child, Leah Vidaurre of Parma Heights, Ohio, has been dealing with an oversupply of breast milk and doesn’t know what to do with it.
Mother 36-year-old produces about 7.5 cups daily, but her young son only drinks half that amount.

Not wanting the leftover milk to go to waste, she decided to start trying out different ways to use it, including turning it into smoothies or making milk soap.
But her imagination went further and she decided to use the milk to prepare fruit-flavored snacks, butter and other desserts to share with her family.
After much experimentation, she discovered that fruit-flavored milk popsicles were the tastiest dessert. Two cups of milk make four popsicles, she shared on her Facebook account.
Despite the criticism she has received from some Internet users, the woman assures: “I will only stop making them when my children stop eating them!”
The mom sees it as a creative way to make sure her kids get all the extra benefits of breast milk, like vitamins and calcium, while enjoying a sweet treat at the same time. “Breast milk is called liquid gold for a reason — it has so many benefits,” Leah says.
“I sometimes put milk in smoothies for my toddler. My husband has tried it and says the milk is sweet,” said Leah Vidaurre.
