My husband thinks it's ridiculous, as I really have no reason to have that much. He also says that the stuff from October is no good, and it's just wasted space in our freezer. Men...
I must have had 150 oz when I returned to work at 5.5 months. Now, at almost 11 months, I have 100 oz. Some weeks I'd add to the stash, other times I'd detract without replenishing. I'm sure I have more than I need but I plan to keep BM in his diet for several more months.
When I went back I had around 90 oz. Now I think it is a bit less because I don't bother trying to add to it on the weekends any more. I'm probably around the 75 mark now.

i have close to 700 in my deep freezer and 15 that i left up at my parents... I am a stay at home mom and not really sure what i am going to do with all this milk. Hopefully can wean alittle early and still be giving milk till a year
Probably about 500 ounces. I'm going back to working FT at the office next week (I've been doing a combination of working from the office and working at home with DS #2 since he was 6 weeks old), so we'll see if I need to start dipping into my stash.
About 25 oz.
Yikes I feel like I need more now.... After seeing all your numbers!! Haha.
I am back at work part time, and LO drinks what I pump the previous day. I would like to up my stash but I hate pumping so I don't do it any more than I need to!
Before I went back to work, I had about 200oz frozen.
At some point, I was about to nearly 1000oz in deep freeze. I donated about 400oz when DS was 7 months old. Now my supply is dwindling and I'm weaning from the pump, so I'd back down to about 200oz, but that gets lower and lower everyday.

I totally have the same problem! I have around 400oz and yes our freezer isnt that big, but Im just terrified of running out. I never feel like I have enough.

700ish ounces from when DD was in the NICU and I was EPing, but I honestly don't even know if it is good or not (I had excess lipase with my son and my frozen milk soured after a couple of months). DD only gets a bottle like once a month so I just pump fresh for her. I don't know what I am going to do with it all.
I have almost 600 ounces in my freezer. Been swapping out the fresh with the frozen since starting back at work in September (I'm a teacher and had the summer off!) Looking to donate if I don't use it all with DS...

I have 102oz. I pump about 12 a day at work but ds will only take 1 4oz bottle during the day..he prefers to wait until i get home and then nurse all night. So my stash is growing every day. His bottle is half frozen half fresh to keep the frozen stuff from getting too old.

Re: How much do y'all have stashed?

No need for a large stash. I just donated 300oz that I wasn't going to use. I keep thinking of all those hours at work....ugh.
I think at its highest, my stash was over 600oz. That is just ridiculous. I think 200oz is MORE than enough.
I also didn't rotate my stash as much. I really wanted my LO to get fresh milk as often as possible.

I just donated 150 oz, so I have about 500 oz in the deep freeze.
I have a hoarding problem.
