just expressed...

sam#3 · Dec 22nd, 2008, 18:38 PM

Due to Harry feeding badly at the minute i had a hard lump in my boob so i thought i would hand express whilst massaging it away as Harry is asleep at the minute.
I thought i wouldnt get a lot so i have just expressed it into a mug from the cupboard but i have got loads out, as the mug wasnt sterilised i cant give this to Harry can i??
I only ever express milk if i have these lumps appear or sore nipples and havent ever got much out so ive not really thought much of throwing it away but it seems a shame as i just got so much out!!

I know i probably cant give it to him and next time i should use a sterile bottle in case i get a lot out again so i dont have to waste it right...???

It would kill me to pour good milk down the sink but only you know how clean that cup is.

Well its a fresh clean cup so thats fine, should i warm the milk back up when Harry wakes up? Whats the best way to warm it up?

It's ok at room temp for 6 hrs apparently and I guess you can put it in a sterile bottle and warm it once. Just check that though.
