Holy cow!!!!!! </p> <p>I'd mix to redistribute the foremilk and hindmilk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399832 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 07:18:30 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1399832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I think I'll mix them from now on when I get the mind to. I'm pretty lazy, too :P</p> <p>@beaker: An expert opinion! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399818 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 06:57:43 +0000 Ash 1399818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd mix them. It definitely doesn't hurt anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399811 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 06:45:19 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1399811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An LC actually told me you get higher average calories if you mix a whole days worth (like in a pitcher or something) and then portion it out... Although I don't do that I'm totally fine with mixing them from different boobs/pumping sessions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399708 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:34:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1399708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would leave them because I'm lazy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399704 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:25:00 +0000 fairy 1399704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When that happens to me, I mix them so that one isn't mostly foremilk. Makes sense to me! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399644 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 23:34:37 +0000 autumnlove 1399644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would leave them as is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399583 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:57:32 +0000 QBbride 1399583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably just leave them as is, but I'm sure it's fine to mix them.</p> <p>And 10 ounces?! Congrats!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mixing-breastmilk-after-pumping#post-1399532 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:33:11 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1399532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So when I pump I usually get maybe like 3 oz out of the right and not even an ounce out of the left. My boobs are seriously disproportionate at this point :P I use to get more, but at around 6 months this is where I am anymore. But I'm at work tonight and just pumped and got 10 freaking ounces out of one boob. I am over the moon. </p> <p>The pump I use only holds 5 ounces at a time, which is what LO usually eats at a time. So I have two freezer bags of 5 ounces each ready to go home with me. The first one is pretty clear and watery, while the other is "creamier" looking. I guess this would be the whole foremilk vs. hindmilk? </p> <p>LO only takes one bottle while I'm working, so when he drinks this he'll have one of the bags one night and the other later in the week. So should I mix them up then reseperate them so there's an even balance of foremilk and hindmilk? Does that make sense? :P </p>
