in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
I dont have an oversupply by any means but i do have 100 + oz of BM saved in the freezer and I have no room left! I am a sahm and only pump once in the morning (because if i dont, my boobs will exlode). We literally have no more room in the freezer! And i cant just stop the pumping, i dont want a supply dip. :( Any suggestions?

    What are you using to store your bm?  When we started to run out of room, I started using ice cube trays, and then saving all the cubes in a freezer bag.  I used those up first when I need to use some!

    I bought a cheap deep freezer. Do you have any space for one? We keep ours in the garage.

    You could look into donating it to a milk bank or to a mom with a baby in the NICU at your local hospital.

    Why can't you stop pumping in the morning? If you stopped pumping, your supply would regulate, I would think, and then you wouldn't have over supply in the freezer or your boobs. Your supply shouldn't dip from not pumping. It should regulate, I think.

    Or, just start going out more and getting a babysitter. :)

    1) Ask for a second freezer for Christmas.

    Are you using bags or containers? I was able to store 80+ oz on my freezer door in 4 oz vials.

    If you wean off that pumping then you will regulate and your regular supply should not dip.

    this. your supply for regular feedings will be fine still.
