Baby refuse EBM but prefers to latch

My 2 mth old baby is on mix feed. He latches first before I feed him fm but refused to drink expressed milk that I have frozen and thawed. Anyone else facing the same issue? What do you do?

Could be high lipase issue. My LO also rejects my frozen stash. What you can do is mix the fresh one and the frozen one. (This didn’t work for my baby though). Now I always freeze freshly expressed milk. I will do milk math first. If the stash in the fridge is enough for a day’s meal, whatever I express after, I will freeze immediately after pump. This works. My baby now drinks my frozen bm. You can give it a try

Yes, I've been freezing my fresh ebm immediately after pump. I suspect that my milk could be due to high lipase. And then I will thaw a pack overnight to feed the next day within 12 hrs. Maybe I should start mixing fresh & frozen ones.
