I dumped out 12 oz because it went bad before we could use it. I was so sad - All that work for nothing :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028505 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 08:26:36 +0000 blackbird 1028505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw that sucks :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028424 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 07:15:48 +0000 Adira 1028424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, that sucks!!!

I am so sorry to hear that. On the (very slim but hopefully slightly) bright side, better to have had too much than too little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028079 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 19:34:31 +0000 swedishfish 1028079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That stinks! I'm sorry :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028077 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 19:31:51 +0000 petunia354 1028077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry!! There really is nothing worse. I once dumped a whole bottle (maybe 4 or 5 oz) that I had pumped in the NICU all over the floor, then proceded to have a hysterical breakdown causing the nurses to come over to see if what had happened. Lol. Not my finest moment.</p> <p>It's a total bummer but try not to dwell on it. Tomorrow is a new day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028045 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 18:57:28 +0000 MrsScallop 1028045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer! I feel you there. I went on a week long trip out if the country away from baby and had to pump and dump every drop while I was away. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028038 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 18:54:24 +0000 Silva 1028038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer. I always thaw more than we need, and have to toss it. I tossed 6 oz today. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028036 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 18:53:36 +0000 .twist. 1028036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! That sucks. Milk is so precious. Sorry to hear that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dumping-pumped-milk-boo#post-1028028 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 18:46:25 +0000 heartonastring 1028028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went away for the weekend so that we could attend a close friend's wedding. The plan was that I would give bottles of pumped milk when/where necessary, and also that DH would leave the wedding early, take DD back to the hotel and put her to bed. So we needed to break into the freezer stash to make sure we had enough milk for any and all eventualities.</p> <p>Since we've never done this before, and didn't want to have any chance of ending up with not enough expressed milk, I ended up bringing way more than I needed (because I (a) kind of forgot that I would be pumping each time I gave her a bottle, and (b) forgot to tell DH to give her the oldest milk that I'd thawed, as opposed to the freshly expressed milk that I could use to replace the thawed milk in my freezer stash). </p> <p>Anyhow, long story short (well, not really, still long), despite being packed in a cooler with tons of ice, the previously frozen milk had all thawed by yesterday. I tried to use as much of it as I could today (since Kellymom says that previously frozen milk only has a shelf life of 24 hours), but I still have 10 oz of excess that I need to dump. I worked so hard to pump that milk so I am so bummed :sad: </p> <p>Oh well, live and learn. </p>
