We haven't moved just yet. I didn't think about DH's business! I'll see if he has space!! Thanks!</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: Oh!! I like this idea!! Dry ice and cooler!! Will have to look into that, and good to know about the carbon dioxide! Thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1478005 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:58:02 +0000 BSB 1478005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently moved and I was going to empty my chest freezer and put all my frozen goods into coolers with dry ice, but I didn't have time, so I asked the movers if they could move the whole chest freezer with things in it and they did. It's a small chest freezer so it wasn't that heavy to move. </p> <p>Yeah, I would ask your storage unit if they power outlets.</p> <p>If you don't have any power in your storage unit, you could put your stash in a cooler and get a few lbs of dry ice to keep it cold. It should keep it cold for a few days before you have to get more dry ice. Oh, I would leave the cooler out in the garage. You definitely don't want to keep it in an enclosed area. Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide so you don't want to be expose to the gas. <a href="http://www.dryiceinfo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dryiceinfo.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1477983 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:52:28 +0000 danda 1477983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any chance you are on some sort of local breastfeeding mom group and can post there if someone can lend you deep freezer space for two weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1477956 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:43:26 +0000 kiddosc 1477956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does the storage facility have units with electricity? I don't think it's too uncommon to be able to get a unit with an outlet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1477922 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:34:54 +0000 Smurfette 1477922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Is this milk all still good? I don't know what you can do but move into other people's freezers, but then it won't be fresh as long as it would be in a deep freezer. </p> <p>Can you store at your DH's business? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1477874 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:23:36 +0000 Alivoo01 1477874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping since I'd like to hear more options since I'm worried about losing my freezer stash; and I think the thread got lost in the postathon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1474528 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:03:52 +0000 Alivoo01 1474528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: They're currently bundled into quart size bags and two quart size bags go into a gallon size bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1474303 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:34:57 +0000 MaisyMay 1474303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's tough! Depending how they are stored, you might be able to put them in smaller bundles and store them at a friend's house. Or is there a small ice chest you could rent for a month and plug in in somebody's garage? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1474301 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:34:54 +0000 autumnlove 1474301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept mine in my MIL's deep freezer...</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-transport-deep-freezer-milk#post-1474285 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:33:23 +0000 Alivoo01 1474285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two large bags of frozen breast milk (~700oz) in our deep freezer chest. We're moving out of our house next week, staying with friends for 2 weeks till we close on our new home, then move into our new home.</p> <p>Everything will go into storage until we move into our next home (furniture, bed, clothing, etc.). What do I do about my frozen milk stash??? They won't fit into a regular freezer, plus we won't have a freezer to use since we're staying with other people. </p>
