I've only spilled milk once and it was a couple of ounces and I cried.</p> <p>I mix in BM with LO's oatmeal and she never finishes it all, so it adds up to a lot of wasted BM :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1416579 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:47:30 +0000 Boheme 1416579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH left 20 ounces out the other night, then spilled 6 the next morning! I may or may not have cried a little. He felt so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1416205 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:50:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1416205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, yes… but I just donated over 500 ounces of frozen breast milk because J is turning one next week…. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1416196 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:45:39 +0000 Anagram 1416196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We seem to waste a ton of BM daily. I just figure it's part of the job (er, that is...if I thought of pumping as a job, which I guess I do).</p> <p>We always overfill LOs bottles in the hopes she will drink them, and I use BM with her solids (which she doesn't really eat), and both my husband and I have accidental spills all the time. Last Friday, I left the milk I pumped at work in the car, not even in a refrigerated bag (threw them out).</p> <p>Yikes. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1416117 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:12:48 +0000 chopsuey 1416117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some frozen bm that I recently tossed. They were over 8 months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1416087 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:57:11 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1416087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last few bottles, LO has left 1-2 oz. , but I'm not stressed about it. we don't bottle feed often, but I try to give her at least 1 a week so she stays used to it in case I need to be gone for more than a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1416080 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:52:16 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1416080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've left a few 3oz bottles (which for us is a LOT) for DH/my mom to give her, she'll usually only take a sip or two and call it good. Sigh. Oh well, that's what it's there for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1415990 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:07:00 +0000 Sapphiresun 1415990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO just started solids and I was thinning out her food with breast milk since she was also having a bit of a right boob only nursing strike. I don't even want to think how much I wasted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1415985 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:04:12 +0000 katsupgirl 1415985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO went on a bottle strike a few weeks back. Sooo much wasted milk. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1414348 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:38:55 +0000 rattles 1414348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to get DD to drink cow's milk and was mixing it with BM in a sippy. We went through 20 oz or so with her drinking a grand total of maybe 4 sips. Blergh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-wasted-any-bm-recently#post-1414337 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 12:37:16 +0000 autumnlove 1414337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to pour out an 8 ounce bottle this morning...it got lost in my fridge last Thursday and it was rancid! :( </p>
