Not sure what I am going to need it for yet, though I am sure I will be glad when I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-981546 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:33:21 +0000 DillonLion 981546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Haha thanks! I am proud of that stash. Although we have been trying to cycle through it lately, and I have excess lipase or something because the thawed milk smells SO SOAPY!!! I have to cut it with fresh milk to convince her to drink it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-981522 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:27:57 +0000 Smurfette 981522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Given all your struggles I would be darn proud of that 30oz. I think it is so great you are still pumping, I would have given up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-981517 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:26:48 +0000 DillonLion 981517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>~30 oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-981512 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:25:30 +0000 Adira 981512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably have around 180oz. It's taking up a lot of room AND I'm storing some of it in the door like you're not supposed to. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-981497 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:22:20 +0000 LaineysMom 981497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: before we bought a deep freezer I had 250+ oz. in the freezer. It was sad to not have any room for ice cream.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980786 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:39:39 +0000 Smurfette 980786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I can't imagine having to throw out all that milk :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980780 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:38:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 980780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: The little stash that I did have got tossed due to thrush . . . which took about 3 weeks to clear up, and then I went back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980769 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:36:48 +0000 Bookish 980769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: thanks :) it's so hard to fit in! The only time I'm able right now is while DH does her middle of the night formula feed. Other than that, I just can't find the time...I need to make it a priority too, though. I don't think my pumping is going to be able to keep up once I go back to work, so I really need to start stashing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980755 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:34:06 +0000 maybebaby 980755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: that's a great start!! i need to make pumping more of a priority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980748 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:32:05 +0000 Bookish 980748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a deep freezer but we do have an extra fridge/freezer in the garage, which is where I keep it. I have all of 25oz....yay. ;p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980742 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:30:19 +0000 Smurfette 980742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never counted but less then 100ozs for sure, maybe even just 50ozs. R wouldn't nap unless I held her during maternity leave, and was eating every 2.5 hours then, so I never got a chance to build up a stash. I can't imagine having too much more, it is already taking up a whole drawer in the freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980739 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:28:56 +0000 Weagle 980739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: It takes a bit of time! We did have enough room for food. We don't keep that much in the freezer, mainly veggies and some pizzas. The gift bag method helped us keep it all organized.</p> <p>ETA: I'm a SAHM, so it was pretty easy for me to pump extra when I needed to. I just had a conversation about this with some WOHM friends, and they said it's been harder to keep up a stash as time went on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980737 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:28:49 +0000 MsLipGloss 980737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 . . . that's right, 2. SAY SOMETHING. COME AT ME BRAH!!!</p> <p>:P</p> <p>annnd *sigh* that is all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980721 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:25:00 +0000 blackbird 980721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>250. I can't wait to have more of my freezer back. We were tight on space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980705 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:21:54 +0000 maybebaby 980705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: that's awesome! i am psyched about my measly 8.5, but ya gotta start somewhere! did you still have space for food in there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980696 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:19:14 +0000 Weagle 980696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always had about 150-200 oz. It wasn't intentional, but it was nice to have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-have-a-deep-freezer-how-many-oz-do-you-have-stashed#post-980689 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 10:16:24 +0000 maybebaby 980689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just beginning to build my freezer "stash," though since we don't have a deep freezer it can't be very big. If you freeze pumped milk, how many oz are in your regular freezer? </p>
