If there is one baby related thing my wife is awesome at it’s producing milk.
She held the 2009 European titles for ‘most breast milk delivered in a single feed’ and ‘highest fat content’. When the European competition commission found out about her re-entry into the competition (entry criteria state that you must give a minimum of 14 months notice) they warned the current holders that they were in for a rough ride this year.

Oh what, really. Again?!

The formal competition isn’t until May, as the slightly warmer weather is an advantage, but we have started training. Currently we have 2.5 litres of white gold stocked up in the freezer at my parents-in-law’s house. Each day we put aside another full bag of the stuff but due to there only being a finite amount of freezer space available we have to eat our way to more space. Since whatever Sup eats ends up in her milk, there is a certain satisfaction in this particular form of recycling.

There is one question I’ve been pondering, is this milk organic?
Surprisingly there are no regulations governing the organic nature of lactal secretions but there are plenty of rules governing other sorts of milk and several of these look to the quality of the food that is consumed, pointing to whether this is organic of not as the deciding factor.

Organic?  Maybe not then. Is the cow organic if it hasn’t eaten only organic food?
It looks like our weekly organic veg box isn’t enough to apply for EU certification, the Dominoes Pizza we had for dinner a little while ago put the kibosh on that. It will be at least 6 months of Abel & Cole cabbage, carrots, and potatoes before we have a hope of certification.
Meanwhile, maybe we can go back to donating our excess as Oxfordshire has a milk bank. Failing that there are other things to do with it.
