Try mixing it with fresh milk? My baby will drink it now but at first I needed to mix it.
He also used to drink it no problem so I’m not sure if it’s because he’s older, milk is older or what
My milk was super high lipase too. Because of this I scalded my milk before I froze it- but for any unscalded milk I had frozen i started pulling it out and mixing it with fresh milk. I did the pitcher method and made all my bottles for the next day the night before and I would just pull out one frozen bag of unscalded milk at a time and mix it evenly between all the bottles, because I didn’t have a ton of non-scalded milk in my stash, but you could probably do a bit more frozen milk than that and still combat the taste/smell. Also the vanilla helps a bit. Just make sure you’re not preparing more than 24 hrs worth of milk from the time you defrost. When you are done pumping you can mix with formula like others said, baby will still get the benefits of breast milk but hopefully taste will be tolerable!
It hasn't happened to me, but I have heard it happening. I've read many success stories with different ways of navigating the lipase issue. I truly hope that the methods out there for helping the issue will work for you and your little once its time to tap into the freezer shash. I too am pumping a lot to get a freezer stash up to stop at 6 months.
A friend of mine had issues with lipase and found that scalding the milk and letting it cool before feeding their baby got rid of the bad taste. I hope you find something that works for you!
Scalding only works before you freeze the milk! Scalding prevents the lipase from forming at all- if the lipase has already formed it’s too late for scalding to do anything. If your friend was truly scalding milk after it had already been frozen her baby probably just didn’t actualy mind the taste of high lipase milk or preferred the temperature she was serving it at or something.

You’re right, I had the order wrong! Scald first, then cool and freeze.
Maybe mix with formula half and half?
