During maternity leave I had a small freezer stash until I realized I had thrush, and it all had to be tossed. By the time the thrush was gone I had to go back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522983 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:32:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 522983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was all pump gung-ho until I realized I wanted my oversupply gone! Too many blocked ducts. I have maybe 10 oz frozen..I figure ill pump as I need to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522831 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:05:35 +0000 ChelseaRose 522831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: maybe yours are different than mine. The ones I have do have holes in them. I didn't realize they make them without holes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522792 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:46:35 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 522792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i froze a bunch in the beginning, so that I could build up a stash for nights out (ha! we went out twice!), emergencies, and so we could give DS a bottle once a week to get him ready for my return to work.</p> <p>Now that I'm working I only use fresh milk from the day before. I read that it messes with your supply to use freezer bags too often, so I only send small frozen portions to day care for emergencies. For example, one day they accidentally spilled his bottle, so they needed that frozen milk to make up for it!</p> <p>I hate pumping, so I tend not to pump enough to freeze these days. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522745 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:31:47 +0000 Mrs. Train 522745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never froze any. With my twins there was never enough to freeze the drank everything I had. With my daughter I was too lazy to pump I just never was away from her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522711 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:22:31 +0000 travelgirl1 522711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: I thought it said you can use it as long as it's collected in the shell without the holes and not been in it more than 6 hours? I'll double check though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522697 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:16:54 +0000 Bao 522697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was freezing milk the first few months, because I had this fear that I would dry up...but now LO is almost 5 months and I haven't froze milk in a good 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522677 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:08:03 +0000 Mrsbells 522677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt want to freeze in the beginning but then at one point I had so much that I did freeze for a while. Now I only freeze a few oz on friday. otherwise I give LO milk from the fridge that I pumped the same day or the day before </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-522669 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:05:38 +0000 ChelseaRose 522669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I have nipple shells too and I'm pretty sure the instructions said not to use the milk collected in them.</p> <p>I do freeze milk, but I'm going back to work when LO is 4.5 months old and I want to have the extra to make sure I can keep up with his needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-518872 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 08:45:41 +0000 travelgirl1 518872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't freeze much (bottle strike and I'm not planning on working for a while) but I freeze what collects in my Avent nipple shells overnight and sometimes pump too. I figure I'll mix it in with solids at some point or make smoothies for her.... Breast milk smoothies,I hope they're not as gross as they sound! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-freeze-milk#post-518867 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 08:41:25 +0000 chopsuey 518867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't planning on freezing milk. Just wanted to give my DS fresh pumped milk and wanted to nurse him.<br /> I'm pumping a lot more than I expected so I guess it's time to start freezing some! </p>
