I don't freeze much (bottle strike and I'm not planning on working for a while) but I freeze what collects in my Avent nipple shells overnight and sometimes pump too. I figure I'll mix it in with solids at some point or make smoothies for her.... Breast milk smoothies,I hope they're not as gross as they sound!

I didnt want to freeze in the beginning but then at one point I had so much that I did freeze for a while. Now I only freeze a few oz on friday. otherwise I give LO milk from the fridge that I pumped the same day or the day before

@ChelseaRose: I thought it said you can use it as long as it's collected in the shell without the holes and not been in it more than 6 hours? I'll double check though!

i froze a bunch in the beginning, so that I could build up a stash for nights out (ha! we went out twice!), emergencies, and so we could give DS a bottle once a week to get him ready for my return to work.

Now that I'm working I only use fresh milk from the day before. I read that it messes with your supply to use freezer bags too often, so I only send small frozen portions to day care for emergencies. For example, one day they accidentally spilled his bottle, so they needed that frozen milk to make up for it!

I hate pumping, so I tend not to pump enough to freeze these days.

I was all pump gung-ho until I realized I wanted my oversupply gone! Too many blocked ducts. I have maybe 10 oz frozen..I figure ill pump as I need to!
