? for bfing moms
this is a little long, apologies in advance if it isn't clear. i am essentially looking to see if there is a way to optimize what i am doing now or if its working.
i am able to pump 22-24 oz/day (2x at work and once before bed). sometimes i skip before bed depending on his routine and if i am about to pass out. i send 18oz/day to daycare and usually get back 6oz to use for the next day since it was fresh and refrigerated. this gives us an overage of 6-12 oz everyday.
i have been sending 2 fresh bottles and one frozen to day care and freezing one or 2 bottles every night. does this process make sense? i don't want milk to get too old in the freezer so i feel like i need to use some of the frozen stuff. i'm not trying to be too greedy but i would love to keep a decent stash for him to use to hopefully get to 1 year.
what do you guys do?
Re: ? for bfing moms
So what I do is freeze all of today's milk. Then i raid my freezer and pull enough for dc tomorrow. Friday's milk goes right into the freezer. This keeps me from having to waste frozen milk. When I had monster supply I did the same thing. You're constantly using the older milk yet adding to the stash.
ditto LD's post
be sure to be on the lookout for idiot husband who UNPLUGGED the freezer to use the outlet
....yeah, i am STILL not over that yet...whole freezer FULL
