Tuesday - Friday I use milk from the day before. Friday afternoons I freeze whatever I pumped that day. Monday I defrost the oldest milk in the freezer. Repeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-pumping-and-storing#post-178181 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:44:43 +0000 jennylynn 178181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'm saying!

I returned to work today, and I'm pumping and bagging while I'm here. So, is it better for me to freeze what I'm pumping while at work and have LO use the previous older stored milk first, or to give her what I pump while I'm work the next day? </p>
