Ya I always combined (same temp ) milk! Good luck!

@macintosh: Like @autumnlove said, I often combine chilled milk from the same day in the fridge, and then freeze when it's a big enough portion. I did want to add that we were recently gifted some frozen milk from a friend with an oversupply, and she froze in 1-2 oz portions in addition to 3 and 4 ounces. While I thought it seemed annoying to freeze so little, sometimes all you need is a couple of ounces to make a bottle complete, and I've totally loved having those smaller portions! Nothing is worse than freezing bigger portions of milk and not needing all of it when defrosting. I hate wasting any milk! I've started freezing a combo of 4+ ozs and 2 ozs here and there:-). Good luck back at work!

Do you have any of the snappy bottles from the hospital? If not, do you want some? If you want to wall me I can send some to you. We have tons! They are long and skinny like the ones @T.H.O.U.: is talking about and they have a snap on lid.

For us, we just add warm milk to the cold. I don't keep milk in the fridge more than a day or two, and I have never had any spoil doing it that way. When I have 5 oz above what I will use within 24 hours I freeze it.

@macintosh: just keep in mind that whatever you de thaw you have to use within 24 hours. I liked to have smaller 2 oz portions frozen to just too him off or for a single feeding.

I've heard of moms putting small portions like that into ice cube trays and then in a big freezer bag. It's probably the best way to keep it fresh, as opposed to combining multiple pump sessions together.
