How much expressed milk do you have in your stash?> - Page 2

avabear73 · Sep 7th, 2009, 17:56 PM

About 650ml but I want to build it up to at least a litre preferably a good bit more. I like to have a decent stash just incase ... never know when I might be ill or unable to BF for some reason, and I want to make sure there is plenty left for Finlay if that happens. I'd be gutted to have to give him formula just because my stash wasn't big enough!

I have about 400 ml in the freezer from way back in the early weeks, but I'm thinking of just throwing it out. I tried giving Alice a bottle a few times last week and she refused it even though she was so hungry, she hasn't a bottle in 3 1/2 months now and I don't think she will now.

Please don't throw it out! It really is wonderful stuff. If you won't use it before it goes out of date, look into donating it. There might be a milk bank near you, or a Mummy friend might make use of it?

If you can't find a good home for it, you can use it to make cereals or omlettes. A lot of people use it up in cooking. You can even make soap out of it!

I know it's a bit late in the year but I've also seen people make ice pops out of it for their LOs!!

Oh yes, I'm going to do that next year! Also, making a thick slushy with it is a good way of entertaining a baby who is too young to be weaned, but wants to be involved in meals times.

I have about 946ml. I currently have 8 4oz bags in my freezer but it sure doesn't feel like enough.
