Help! I just found a whole stash of frozen breast milk in the back of my freezer dated 9/11/14. Think it's still good? DS is 13 months now so has moved on to WCM now but I'd like to use up my stash if possible.
I have been using frozen milk from July 2014, but it has been in a deep freezer. Milk in the deep freezer last longer vs a regular fridge/freezer combo.
The concern with time is not that milk has gone bad from being in the freezer for so long, but that it has lost some of its nutritional value (gaw, I wish I could find where I read that so I could quote it). Anywho, the recommendations are 6 months for a fridge and freezer combo. 12 months for a deep freezer. But I've given my 13 mo old milk that was 8 months old. I figure some nutritional value in the milk is better than no milk at all. I didn't do well rotating out my stash and had a few bags that were that old. I wasn't going to waste them. I also mixed some of it with cows when we introduced that.

This. Though I don't know where I read it either.
