Frozen, now not frozen frozen BM =( so upset.

DH LEFT THE $%^$@#%&@#($&@# FREEZER DOOR OPEN LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My supply is dropping so I was planning on using all of that milk when I wean the kiddo as I don't get even a full bottle when I pump anymore.

One bag is ok. On the other bag half is straight up defrosted. The other half I'd say 90% is still frozen and the other half is defrosted.

 

Do I have to throw away all of what is even sorta defrosted?

 

I'm so so so so so SO uspet.

$#%$#(%&$#%& I wanted yesterday to be my last day of pumping I need to use what I can today so it doesn't all go to waste.

  • How much did you have in there?  I would try to use as much of the defrosted stuff as you can in the next 24-48 hours and just pump during that time.   You may have to dump the rest b/c I probably wouldn't trust it past a few days if it defrosted.  :-/  Sorry - that really sucks!

    This!

    I once re-froze some defrosted milk on accident, couldn't figure out which one it was.  LO  had it eventually, sometime, and was fine....

  • I decided to refreeze the only semi defrosted stuff. There is no way I'd be able to use it up in the next 24 hours. I'll do a smell test when I use it later to determine if it's bad.

  • You could start moving her to whole milk now if you haven't already. She'll be fine.

  • It should be fine! Refreeze it. If it hasn't thawed completely, I think you're safe

     

    I saw a study pretty recently (well, recent as when Irene hit the east coast) about how it would last longer than you thought, they did some tests and found it was fine.
