pumpers: updates?

I know we were going to do this monthly.  I can't remember when the last time was so here I am.  :-)

So this week was my first week not pumping at work.  My pump is packed up.  It's weird, having extra time at work and not having to watch the clock.  (We had to book the pumping room and if you missed your slot....you were SOL b/c there are 6 moms using the same room....it's booked back-to-back.)

We are giving frozen BM to LO at daycare, just 6oz per day.  (When I was pumping, we were sending 9oz but they said she wasn't drinking it all and they were just dumping the rest - I never knew how much they were dumping!)  So far, she's been ok. 

Yesterday, I guess the thawed BM was spoiled?  DH didn't know you can thaw a bag by running it under warm water....since we always thaw by putting a bag in the fridge overnight.  He sent LO to DC w/o BM, just food.  She did ok! 

We are going to introduce WCM in another 6-8 weeks or so, either swapping out one sippy cup, or mixing with BM.  I'm half excited and half sad. 

That's my update....  What about you all?

I probably won't do another monthly update for pumping, but maybe for BFers!  :-)

    I doubt your milk was spoiled.  It was probably just a little lipase smell.  Rotten bm milk smells like rotting animal (not just like sour milk).

    I'm still not pumping. I thought about pumping last week when I had to work nights for 5 days, but I didn't even take my pump with me. Then I was ridiculously busy all night anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered. DD still nurses at night, and once or twice during the day if I'm at home. I doubt I have much milk supply.

    My exciting update is that I found someone to donate my frozen stash to!! :)  We counted up the milk, and it's 540 oz. I found someone on a facebook group who uses donor milk for her baby, and I'll be meeting her tomorrow! I'm so glad it'll go to a good use. :)
