Freezing pumped milk

[brandiewine11]

Freeze it as long as you put it in the fridge.

It's good for 3-5 days in the fridge after being pumped.

Here is a great resource for milk storage/use: kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/milkstorage/

Thanks, I couldn't find that article. Now I don't have to pump for tomorrow!

If you pumped it yesterday and want to use it tomorrow, don't bother freezing it. Just keep it in the fridge.

If you are using it for tomorrow, don't freeze it. You can keep it in the fridge and use tomorrow without issue. Freezing and thawing for tomorrow just makes more work for you!

I agree with others. It's good for 8 days in the frig. I typically don't go longer than 4 days and then I freeze it.

Agree with others...

If using within 5 days, don't freeze.
If refrigerated and you realize you won't use in that window, freeze as soon as you can.

Bm is very resilient. Never toss without sniffing.
