Its only in the fridge a few hours before another feeding so we haven't gotten to freeze anything just yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-reuse-breastmilk-if-the-baby-doesnt-finish-the-bottle#post-88800 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:19:51 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 88800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was fussy at when breastfeeding tonight so I thought she had gas. Usually when she's like that, I'll take her off, feed her a bottle and she'll poop and fart afterwards. (If I try to keep breastfeeding her, she'll squirm around and feel like she's ripping my nipple off). Well tonight I made her a bottle with 3 oz, but she only took about an oz (I guess she got more off the breast than I thought). Is there anyway I can save the other 2 oz?? </p>
