Is this collection from the 18th till now? How are you storing?

@Erika yes

@Brooke have you been storing this in the fridge? My only concern is colostrum can be kept in the fridge for max 48 hours before it needs to be frozen and you should really only add pump/collection sessions together within the same day/24hrs. This is just for the safety of your little one!!

@Erika ive been feeezing it every night, my dr told me it was safe to add it together for 3 days since it goes straight to the freezer after

Just a tip, I mix all of my 48 hours worth together, then freeze it. It is okay refrigerated for 48 hours before being frozen but after that it shouldn’t be used. And ik with regular milk once it’s thawed out you either have to use it or not feed it. I don’t think you’re supposed to freeze and unfreeze to mix together like that. Just recommending to look into it. I’m not an expert or a medical professional ❤️

@Summer it doesn't completely thaw, i pump every night for 10 to 15 minutes and my fiance pulls the bag out of the freezer 5 minutes before im done and by the time it goes into the freezer again it still has chucks of it frozen in the middle, thats why my doctor is okay woth me doing it this way until i get my syringes in whoch should hopefully be in the next few days(amazon is taking forever to deliver them)
