At 11 months, DD still drinks 25-28 oz. a day and I only pump 20.. It's sad, but nice to be cycling through my stash.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1074222 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:54:29 +0000 Adira 1074222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as @Smurfette. I freeze Friday's milk and use the oldest freezer stash for Monday's bottles. I'm currently using June milk. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1074203 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:47:52 +0000 edelweiss 1074203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use the oldest first--LO gets one bottle of thawed milk and two fresh each day at daycare. and i freeze a bag each day to replace the old one that was thawed.</p> <p>@Mrs. Taco: boobsicles. love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1074176 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:33:23 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1074176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give 1 frozen bottle everyday and the rest fresh...I EP and have over supply so I really need to figure out a better system because my freezer is about to explode with 'boobsicles' (my dear husband's name for frozen bags of milk). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1074156 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:28:51 +0000 DillonLion 1074156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mix with fresh because I have excess lipase so all my frozen milk smells like soap and is gross :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1074145 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:25:20 +0000 purrpletulips 1074145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always used the oldest milk so it wouldn't get forgotten and need to be tossed. I gave fresh milk Tu-F and frozen on M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1073066 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 19:18:24 +0000 Bookish 1073066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: haha I don't blame you. I haate pumping. I'm hoping I can keep building my stash to the point where I don't have to. Darn low supply!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1073029 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 19:00:01 +0000 Smurfette 1073029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: I go out of my way to not pump on the weekends. Three times a day at work is enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1072937 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 17:41:50 +0000 Bookish 1072937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I do this, except I pump sat/sun morning so that I only have to defrost about 3oz for Monday. This weekend I managed to pump enough to cover Monday, yay! I usually don't mix fresh and frozen because I don't give it enough time to become the same temp.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1072918 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 17:27:58 +0000 Smurfette 1072918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I freeze Fridays milk, then Sunday refrost the oldest for Monday. Rest of the week is fresh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1072908 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 17:19:15 +0000 dagret 1072908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I use the oldest stuff first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1072872 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 16:51:26 +0000 lindseykaye 1072872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use the oldest stuff. Ours is from June in a deep freezer and I wouldn't hesitate to feed her May milk either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1072849 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 16:24:31 +0000 MamaCate 1072849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to mix frozen and fresh butvmostly for logistical reasons. I froze in 4 oz amounts but gave her 5 1/2 oz for most of her bottle feeding. I think either way is okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/using-thawed-milk-for-daycare-bottles#post-1072834 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 16:12:22 +0000 autumnlove 1072834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you just use the oldest milk in your stash? Or do you mix it with fresh milk?</p> <p>My oldest milk was pumped in May and stored in a deep freezer... </p>
