I head back to work next week and have my freezer full of frozen milk I have been pumping/saving since DD was born. I know the milk from 3 months ago does not have the same nutrients/fats/calories as she needs now.
So do you give your LO bottles of freshly pumped milk in addition to the frozen milk throughout the day or just the frozen milk?

Someone posted this http://lactationmatters.org/2012/05/17/pumping-strategies-for-the-working-mother/ in another thread and I plan to follow it!
My LO has been in a bit of daytime nursing strike so everything I pump has been given to her in a bottle!

i just read the link that regberadaisy posted, and i pretty much do the same thing! except my frozen milk is older since i built up a stash in the early days, so i've been mixing with half fresh milk so that it's more nutritionally appropriate for current day.

Hmm, good idea to mix fresh/frozen!
I've been giving him fresh. Pump at work, and when I go to pick LO up from daycare - I leave my freshly pumped milk there for him to drink the next day. It's a lot easier than taking it all the way home just to bring milk back the very next morning.
