Frozen BM question

sad5781 · July 2010

I have lots of milk frozen going back to C's first days. A lot of this milk appears to be more colostrum than milk. Can I still give this to him? I want to start swapping out one bag a day so it doesn't go bad but I didn't know if at this point if there was any reason not to give him the milk I pumped on day 3.

Won't do any harm.

Exactly. If you're worried about fat content, mix it with new milk.

I am doing the same thing - I just make sure she is getting only one bottle of frozen milk from the first week or so and two bottles of fresh milk at daycare so she still gets her fat content.

Yes, the consistancy changes a lot over time. I would recommend alternating fresh and (old) frozen throughout the day, so they get both -and are not lacking in any areas. Once he went to daycare the time limit in the freezer got a lot shorter since I did FIFO (first in first out).
