 Topic: Unpasteurised Milk...?
Posted: 11 May 2010 at 5:56pm |

Is a big no-no while your pregnant, right??
Just double checking, as about to head out to IL's farm and was gonna grab a bucket of milk. If it is I'll buy milk for me and let DH have the unpasterised stuff..??
Typical when I need to know quickly, google seems ridiculously un informative, hehe!

I'm not sure what the 'official' advice is here but I drank unpasteurised milk (raw milk) while I was pregnant. Raw milk is supposed to have natural enzymes and good bacteria to keep it from going off. My sister is totally into raw milk and things and gave me a lot of good info at the time, I have forgotten now sorry, not very helpful! Just a personal choice I guess like anything you eat or drink or don't while pregnant :) I guess its easy enough just to be on the safe side and not drink it if you are worried though!

Official advice is a big no. As with most things, I guess the chances are minimal really, but I figure better be safe than sorry.

Yep, I personally wouldn't touch it. Would be very hard not to drink if you lived on a farm.

I've often wondered if would be OK heated. In theory, it should be. But NZFA's guidlines don't mention it (i.e. they say 'unpasturised cheese - don't eat' but "Pasturised soft cheese - eat if piping hot"). So I'm confused on that (and since we don't have easy access to farm milk, aren't too bothered!

I was working on a dairy farm while preggy and I drank it but only because I milked the cows and kept the shed clean! We were always within safe bacteria levels so no worries there!
Check the milking docket in the shed if you want to drink it!

I would think you be nuts to drink it hun , sorry , but thats my personal opinion.
It may wel be lovely and clean at the shed but by the time you get it home and drink it etc etc it could be full of bugs that you probably dont need just now... only a short while to go til you can drink it again

I would think if it's fresh out of a healthy cow and kept in a clean bucket/whatever you milk a cow into it should be ok. I probably would have given it a miss though. (After tasting it to see what "real" milk tastes like!)

Hhmm I think I'll leave it. Even though I 'know' the cows, and know how immaculate the shed is, I don't wanna risk it

You could still use it for cooking, of course. Fresh milk makes some nice potato bake.

Oooh it does!!! Apart from the lumps. I still have a BIG problem with the lumps in milk. Even though they are there, I've still been trained that lumps in milk=bad...

What lumps are they?
I live on a farm so all we have is unpasturised milk and I've never come across any lumps...

Oh the IL's don't pull the cream off... They kinda mix it up in the milk jug, and it kinda seems to go lumpy a bit sometimes? Like really thick, and feels like lumps going down your throat. Sooo wrong. Its not lumps as such I guess. Just thick bits haha. Lumps was the best way I could think of to describe it. Not all the time- it just seems to be when they get a particularly creamy jug and its not mixed in properly.
IYKWIM lol. My describing skills aren't too great

I was told NO to unpasteurised anything while pregnant but I've also been told, it's different if it's something you have all the time (does that make sense?).
So a one off - NO
If you live on a farm and have unpasteurised milk every day of your life, then get pregnant, there's no need to change.

Unpasteurised Milk...?
