And if we're traveling or for a bottle at church every Sunday. </p> <p>@kayakgirl73: I am so terrified of that scenario - i just started a thread about it! I just printed out this kellymom post just in case. <a href="http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/frozen-milk-power-outage/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/frozen-milk-power-outage/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-851523 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:19:37 +0000 swurlygurl 851523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys are starting to freak me out about losing power!</p> <p>I have 12 bags of reserve. I freeze what I pump each day and put it at the end, and send the oldest bag of frozen milk to daycare. I EP so DD only gets fresh milk on Sat and Sun when I don't bother to bag it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-851404 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:54:27 +0000 kayakgirl73 851404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I freeze Friday's output and use Freezer stash for Monday and if I'm short. My freezer stash is not huge and most days I'm just able to pump enough to cover what she eats, so the stash is going down. I hope we don't lose power. We're on tap for really bad storms today and tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-851098 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:29:25 +0000 sotofamilia 851098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Definitely! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-850967 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:42:52 +0000 Adira 850967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotofamilia: Seriously!! I had just been using Friday's pump session for Monday, but freezing it and using frozen for Monday makes so much more sense! &lt;3 Hellobee ladies and their great suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-850947 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:38:35 +0000 sotofamilia 850947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Right? That never occured to me and is such a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-850942 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:37:00 +0000 Adira 850942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Oh, that's such a good idea! I hadn't started using my stash yet because it's supposed to be good for 6 months in the freezer, but cycling through is smart. I think I'm going to start doing this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-850844 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:08:23 +0000 sotofamilia 850844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's really good advice! Ok, I'll start cycling through. Thanks ladies! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-850831 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:02:33 +0000 regberadaisy 850831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Frozen milk is only good for up to X months depending on your storage methods so I would def start using it. I know a lot of ladies like to take out frozen milk for Mondays then freeze whatever they pump on Fridays. That way you're using the old stuff but still replenishing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-850830 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:02:13 +0000 mrsjyw 850830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been cycling through (and all the maternity leave stash is now gone) the stash! :)</p> <p>on Monday, he gets thawed milk, Tues/Wed he gets pumped milk from the day before. Wed's pump session gets frozen :) (I wfh th/fr) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-frozen-breastmilk-stash#post-850826 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:01:07 +0000 sotofamilia 850826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everybody! My little guy is almost four months and I just started back to work last week. </p> <p>So far, I've been able to pump to keep up with what he needs for the next day. I built up a somewhat meager freezer stash (like, between 60 and 70 ounces) while I was on maternity leave and I'm not quite sure how to use it now. Like, should I rotate it in with the fresh milk? Should I keep it frozen and use it on days that I don't pump enough? Or keep it for purees when he starts eating solids? </p> <p>My fear is that the power is going to go out in my house and then all that beautiful milk will be wasted, so I don't want to keep too big of a stash! </p> <p>How do you/did you use your frozen milk? </p>
