Breast milk on a budget: Mum's unconventional feeding strategy

A controversial influencer has divided after she offered her staff a chance to try her breast milk.

Sarah Stevenson, who goes by her account name Sarah’s Day online, shared a clip showing two women sipping from a bottle of breast milk after she’d been pumping while on a boat with her team.

One staff member took a sip and declared “oh my god” before breaking down into laughter. Another was seen having a sip then immediately taking a swig of another beverage.

Sarah’s husband Kurt Tilse was also on the boat but shook his head when offered a taste of the milk. The couple’s older child, Fox, also said no to his mum when she offered it to him.

“Are they really true friends if they don’t try your freshly pumped breastmilk!? Is it just me or is our work team a little tooooo close,” the fitness influencer captioned the video.

She said it was “actually delicious”.

Commenters on the clip had a mixed response. Some called it “weird” or “yuck”. Others said they’d done the same.

“I’ve breastfed three babies and have never ever tried my breast milk,” one social media user commented.

Another said: “Totally have used it in my morning tea in a pinch.”

“Mine tasted like the milk left after eating a sweet kids cereal. I was so shocked at how good it really is,” one social media user commented.

“Haven’t even tried my own and I’m eight months of breastfeeding in,” another said.

One social media user added: “I put mine into smoothies if sickness is in the house and no one knows.”

“Mine has always tasted like sweetened almond milk! My partner has tried it but it’s usually when I’ve accidentally squirted him,” one said.

News.com.au contacted Sarah’s Day for comment.

Early this year the influencer divided after sharing the lunch she packed Fox for preschool.

“Let’s make my five-year-old’s healthy lunch box for preschool!” the 32-year-old captioned the clip.

The lunch box included curried eggs, sticks of cucumber and carrot, a portion of low-sugar high-protein blueberry yoghurt, pumpkin seeds, a Babybel cheese, avocado, fresh fruit, and a single five-seed cracker.

“This is everything he eats in a day at preschool, the only change next week is no Babybel cheese,” she said in a voiceover, explaining her son no longer likes it.

But, the lunch left her followers divided – taking to the comments section to remark on the “minimal” amount of carbs the mum had included.

“Why not the egg salad in a sandwich he has like no carbs lol,” one wrote.

“Delish. Just wonder why there is minimal carbs for a growing boy?” another questioned.

“I am not trying to judge you, I am really curious. Are you actually giving four eggs for lunch to your five-year-old?” a third said.
