  The worst I've done in forget to put a drop-in in LO's bottle and dumped about 4oz on the counter and floor. I was so pissed. I can't imagine 80oz. Holy crap!

  I had to pour 17 oz (a whole work day's worth of pumping!) down the drain for the same reason this morning...

  I have 350oz of frozen BM in the freezer that my DD refuses to drink!! Before I stopped BF I pumped 500oz that should've lasted me another month or so and now she just doesn't want it. I can't bring myself to throw it out, it is so painful to even think about it, especially when you know that it's the only BM left since I have dried up now and that's the only way she will ever drink BM again. I pumped it in Sept and it should be good till Jan. I've tried so many times to give it to her and she just spits it out . I don't think she likes the taste of it since it's not fresh.

  I think I will cry when the day comes that I have to throw it out.

  Don't throw it out!!!  Some places will let you donate previously pumped breastmilk. 

  Will she take it mixed with cereal or solids?  So she can at least get take some of it?  I cannot imagine pumping all of that only to have it go to waste.
