Yeah hopefully only thawing milk and not adding to the stash anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1125649 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 09:58:36 +0000 tinypiglet 1125649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dillonlion: I also have excess lipase and I scald my milk before freezing/refrigerating it, which seems to be eliminating the weird taste issue. Sounds like you are almost done with storing milk, but if you are still adding to your stash, I recommend giving that a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1124926 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 20:30:34 +0000 mamabolt 1124926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9 months I started cutting back pumping to 2x a day, and if I pumped less than LO needed in those sessions, I would make up the difference with freezer stash. At about 11.5 months I cut to once a day, and after 12 months weaned off of pumping. I had enough of a stash that LO got at least partial BM until 13 months during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1124499 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:19:22 +0000 autumnlove 1124499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished my first stash about 2 weeks before my second LO was born. I have a lot in my stash right now...I hope we can finish it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1124496 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:16:10 +0000 MamaJ 1124496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS only gets two bottles per week or less. I calculated it and I could stop pumping and use up the stash by the time he is a year. But like you, I'm thinking of mixing them... Plus then I could have some for past one year for whatever reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1124327 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 16:10:07 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1124327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been rotating for awhile because I don't have a deep freezer and wanted to use it within 4 months. I think I have just one gallon bag left and probably the equivalent of 2 gallons more just sitting on shelves. So it'll be gone within the month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1124308 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 16:03:03 +0000 DillonLion 1124308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I've been cycling...I just meant using it up until it is gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1124301 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 16:01:41 +0000 Mrsbells 1124301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started once I realized that I was supposed to be cycling through it so that nothing in there stays too long I think this was around 3 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-up-your-freezer-stash#post-1124277 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:54:50 +0000 DillonLion 1124277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to be away from lo for a long weekend coming up, and I expect I will return with less milk than she consumed from the freezer while I was gone. She will be one at the end of November and I plan to try and be through the rest of my freezer stash by then. I have excess lipase so all of my frozen has to be mixed with fresh because it smells soapy. Once she's one I hope we are through the stash and I can quit pumping right around that time.</p> <p>Anyway, how did you end up using your stash? </p>
