Milk is a highly nutritious, but is a perishable food containing protein, fat and sugar. The milk sold today is pasteurized, meaning the milk is heated for a brief period of time to kill disease-causing bacteria; however, this process does not kill ALL bacteria. The sugar present in milk lactose allows bacteria to grow and multiply which will lead to spoiling.
Keeping milk continuously refrigerated and sealing the container well after each use will help to keep milk fresh for up to a week past the sell-by date on the package. A small sip of spoiled milk is unlikely to cause symptoms beyond a bad taste. Drinking larger amounts of spoiled milk can cause stomach distress resulting in abdominal cramping, vomiting and diarrhea like a food-borne illness. In most cases, symptoms caused by drinking spoiled milk resolve within hours.
Avoid taking any medication to stop diarrhea because anti-diarrheal medications decrease the elimination of whatever caused the problem. If you or your child has ingested spoiled milk, do not panic.

No one likes to dump out or pick up a jug of chunky used-to-be milk — yuck! For good reason, milk in the chunkiest form could potentially have other bacteria or even yeast growing in or on it, which can be harmful. Milk left out in the heat of the day can produce yeast fairly quickly. The environment that the milk is left out in plays a significant role in how quickly the milk starts to sour.
When milk is left out around the house bacteria that is around the house can begin developing too. These bacteria will feed off of the spoiling milk, and create new causes of concern. According to Usdairy. Milk left sitting out starts to diminish in quality after around the 2-hours mark.
If you know about when the milk got left out, you can sort of have a limited prediction of much of the aging process has started. Sour milk is different than spoiled milk. Sour milk refers to milk that is unpasteurized or in-other-words raw and has begun to ferment naturally.
Sour milk has been used in recipes for many years, and even though most people use milk that has undergone the pasteurization process few folks may use raw milk for certain age-old recipes. On the other hand, there is milk that is highly pasteurized too. You might find it in your local grocery store stored in boxes on the shelves, for sale in the dry goods section. Milk that has undergone extensive pasteurization will have slim to none of the bacteria present that enables the spoiling process.
If your child has only consumed a small amount of spoiled milk, this might not cause any symptoms at all. The body is pretty likely to not end up sick at all from just a cup or so of spoiled milk.
Yet, if your child somehow got ahold of a large amount of rotten milk — any of the following symptoms could appear — upset stomach, vomiting, or diarrhea. In reality, drinking too much-spoiled milk will result in food poisoning-type symptoms. Food poisoning happens when rotten food or bacteria has entered the body, even young children can end up with food poisoning.
If your little one seems to vomit after having spoiled milk, or any symptoms of food poisoning — keep an eye on your child for worsening symptoms like fever or dehydration due to vomiting while hydrating them. Sometimes it comes with a hint of yellow, bluish, orange, or off white. Colostrum, which comes in as soon as your baby is born, is usually yellowish. The transitional milk sets in two to five days later up to two weeks postpartum and appears orange-ish.
The mature milk is more watery and comes after two weeks. These different colors can also show up within a single pumping session, from the foremilk to the hindmilk. This spectrum of colors also depends on several other factors, including your diet, water intake, herbal consumption, medication, and how many days or months of breastfeeding.
In some cases, the soapy smell comes from a high level of lipase , an enzyme that naturally exists in breast milk. This enzyme helps your baby break down breast milk for easy digestion and absorption of its essential nutrients.
If they swallow the spoiled breast milk, they may get a tummy ache and soon after vomit the milk. Once you notice your baby refusing the milk after tasting it, you should stop feeding them and check it.
Even the most careful parent, guardian, or babysitter can give a baby spoiled milk unintentionally. Breast milk typically separates after a pumping session.
