XP - can I combine 2 pump sessions and freeze?

I posted on parenting, then remembered the Breastfeeding board. 

Natalie doesn't eat as well as Blaire did just yet.  Or at least as much, maybe I should say.  So, I've started pumping to relieve my engorgement and b/c last month my old boss asked me to return my SLP job part-time starting in August, so I want a good stash for then.

Rightnow, I'm pumping about once a day and getting about 2 oz.  Can I put it in the frigdge and then tomorrow add to that and then freeze it?  Or can I not combine two pumping sessions?

    As long as the two pumps are the same temp it is fine. What I do is put the second pump in the fridge overnight and combine in the am. It works well for me.

    Yes, it's fine to combine them and they don't have to be the same temp.  I have been doing this since I went back to work - I pump three times a day and each time I put it in the frig then take it out to add the new milk each time.  I always freeze it within 24 hours though.
