LO is 10 months and I have about 300 ounces in the freezer. I had more, but I started trying to use it all up before it expired. I plan to breastfeed for 18 months. Original goal was 6 months, then a year. Now as a year approaches and LO shows no signs of wanting to wean, I can go longer.

Our freezer doesn't really have room for anything besides breastmilk.

ETA: Oh, I've reached my freezer stash goal. I don't want it to get below 200 oz. so I will just maintain it for now.

How old is your LO?: 10 weeks
How much of a freezer stash do you have? a little over 200 oz
What's your goal? 200 oz was my goal by the time I returned to work in 12 weeks. I add 8-12 oz a day from my bedtime pump session so I'll have a nice buffer over my goal.

How old is your LO? 6 months old tomorrow!
How much of a freezer stash do you have? 4 oz
What's your goal? No goal really. I find it easier to pump ahead of an event than dip into stash. It would be nice to have a bigger stash to stop pumping, but I'm okay with pumping if it keeps LO in breast milk.

How old is your LO? 5 months
How much of a freezer stash do you have? 70 oz
What's your goal? I don't really have a goal. I usually pump just enough for the next day's bottles but if there is any extra I put it in the freezer.

How old is your LO? : 8.5 months old
How much of a freezer stash do you have? ~200 oz
What's your goal?: no particular goal but I want to start weaning soon and hope to have enough frozen milk to give one bottle of BM a day until he's a year old. I have a feeling it will be a slow weaning process...

Also, we just went and bought a small freezer chest for about $150 and keep it in our basement just to store my frozen BM. But I hope to have time to start making homemade chicken and beef stock and freeze it like Mrs. Bee does.

@MaisyMay: my LO is 4.5 months. I have 500+ ounces.. My goal is 1000+ so I can stop pumping @ the one year mark, but keep feeding LO some breast milk.

How old is your LO? 4.5 months
How much of a freezer stash do you have? 227 oz. I also have a spreadsheet
What's your goal? I think it will hover around that amount mostly because I'm getting close to capacity in our freezer. I wanted to have a stash for emergencies & if I have to travel for work. Also so we can continue breast milk if I decide to stop pumping.

How old is your LO? 5.5 months
How much of a freezer stash do you have? 200-250oz
What's your goal? I had a goal of 80oz when I returned to work. It kept growing to over 300oz at some point, but then I stopped pumping at night. Since I stopped my night pump my supply has dropped off. I usually pump 16-17 ounces at work and LO takes 20-22 while I'm gone so we've been using up the stash. It really stresses me out, but we need to use the milk before it goes bad anyway.

I don't really have a specific time length that I will give LO breastmilk exclusively. I would like to make it to a year to avoid formula just because of the cost aspect, but if my supply won't allow me, I won't beat myself up over it. I'm hoping once she starts solids she will need less milk during daycare.

LO is almost 6 months old
We have about 80oz
I don't have a goal because I stopped pumping a few months ago, but I originally had a goal of a few hundred ounces because I was paranoid. I am glad I didn't keep going though, because the milk in there she never drinks and it will eventually go bad. If I kept pumping like I was I would have around 600oz.

Lo is 8mo. I have about 80oz. It's being used these days...
