freezer stash

in August 2012 Moms
I've weaned from the pump and dd is now on wcm at dc. I still bf when we are together.

I was diluting her wcm with bm for a while but now its all wcm. Been that way for about 2 weeks. However I've got about 15-20 oz in my freezer. Poor planning and bad math on my part that I didn't use it all up during our bm to wcm transition.

I'm not sure what to do with my leftover bm. I'm reluctant to put it in her sippy or add it to her wcm. I don't want to backtrack when I've finally got her somewhat used to wcm.

She's still getting 1 bottle at dc of wcm. (Other wcm at dc is in sippy) Hopefully we'll replace that with a sippy soon. Maybe I could use bm in that bottle for a few days to use up my bm.

Guess I could donate. But I'm not sure if you can donate such a small amount.

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016!  Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!

    I would donate it.  The women on there are grateful for any amount.  I used Eats on Feet. They have a Facebook page.

    i would mix it in with the WCM. you could do half and half, just to use it up.

    you could donate it-- there are more informal networks that just serve to put donors in contact with recipients. there's one called human milk for human babies (https://www.hm4hb.net/) that has regional facebook pages where you can post what you have to donate.

    I have donated a small amount before through Human Milk 4 Human Babies.  Just find your regional FB page and make it clear you only have a small amount, I bet someone snatches it up.

    I'd just use it. I did with ds and it didn't seen to back track at all.

    Could you mix it into oatmeal or something like that, after cooking it of course. Or I would donate it. I hate throwing milk away.

    Please don't throw it away. Many mothers on eats on feets would take it, or you could use it for cooking. Like bb said oat meal, mashed potatoes, or god forbid.... Mac n chesse!
