Milk Spoiling

tamarar5 · September 2013

So I've between trying to boost my supply and get a little extra in the freezer for just in case, but I'm having problems. After feeding, I'm only getting like an ounce or two.

Can i combine pumpings from the same day to freeze? I did this with my daughter no problem.

So now for the problem. After I get my ounce our two, I've been putting it straight in the fridge. But when I pull it out again in two hours, its spoiled! BM shouldn't go bad that fast, should it? Also, I've thawed a few of my frozen bags and they have spoiled while heating them! What the bleep am I doing wrong?!

I'm no expert but I don't think it should be spoiling that fast! BM is supposed to last 7 hrs out of the fridge.

It's probably a lipase issue. You could try scalding the milk before putting it in the fridge. I have the same issue, but I can't do anything about it because I have to pump at work and by the time I get home it already tastes bad. DD has never wanted to take a bottle (formula or otherwise), but I think even now that she'll drink through a straw she's not going to drink my breast milk unless I'm nursing.
