This is the same principle with freezing anything else. It is going to be fresher after freezing if it wasn't sitting around for a couple days first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-breastmilk#post-909355 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 07:38:04 +0000 anbanan15 909355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freeze it! </p> <p>We always refrigerated to drop the temp instead of going right to breast to freezer. Then froze in the regular freezer and once completely frozen transferred to the deep freezer. This allows for more even freezing and to ensure the core of the bag gets frozen completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-breastmilk#post-909329 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 06:59:39 +0000 pl0508 909329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freeze it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-breastmilk#post-909295 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 05:34:06 +0000 SleepyMonkey 909295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you can freeze it, but just give it a smell beforehand. my milk starts to smell off at 3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-breastmilk#post-909282 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 04:16:35 +0000 Penny Lane 909282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: you can definitely freeze it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-breastmilk#post-909277 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 03:49:28 +0000 sunny 909277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can freeze it. I read that BM is good in the fridge up to 8 days and at that point you can move it to the freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freezing-breastmilk#post-909276 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 03:36:42 +0000 Pepper 909276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have several bags of breastmilk in our fridge. Mostly from 2-3 days ago. Is it ok to move refrigerated breastmilk to the freezer, or should it be pumped and immediately frozen? Such a newbie at anything related to pumping! </p>
