I don't freeze it and have thrown away sooo much milk :( probably as much thrown out as stored--or more thrown out. But... oh well. Mostly I don't freeze it because I swear I *will* use it tomorrow. And then I don't.

Kind of like meat.

When I'm bagging what I pumped if I pumped say 7 oz, I bag and freeze 2 3 oz feedings, and then refridgerate the other oz until my next pump session. I never knew that wasn't allowed... autumnlove on "Do you freeze milk after it's been in the fridge?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-freeze-milk-after-its-been-in-the-fridge#post-241140 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 16:36:47 +0000 autumnlove 241140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ sometimes I don't have enough milk for a complete portion so I put it in the fridge and freeze it later. I usually limit to one day in the fridge before I freeze.

At night I mix whatever pumped milk I have to evenly distribute the fat and then pour it into 4oz portions. If there is less than 4oz left over I save it until the next day. mamimami on "Do you freeze milk after it's been in the fridge?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-freeze-milk-after-its-been-in-the-fridge#post-241049 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:28:28 +0000 mamimami 241049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I always did this, to measure out evenly before freezing.

If that's the case, do you just freeze what you have pumped and waste the space in the bags if you only pumped 2-3oz?
