I'm devastated... I've been pumping every day after delivery and freezing the milk. I have a large storage freezer that probably has 300oz+ worth of breast milk in there. (This stash has accumulated in just a month's time, so I'm very proud of what I have saved for my baby.) It might seem a bit excessive to have so much saved, but I feel like I need all of this milk saved now in case my supply decreases and baby's appetite grows too quick for me to keep up with. Plus, I really do not want to use formula if my body is producing milk.
The horrendous part is, the freezer broke down and all that milk is thawing out!!! And as I've been told, thawed milk is only good for 24 hrs after initially thawing, and can't be re-freezed... All my hard work of pumping is going down the drain!! UGH.

Re: Breastmilk catastrophe!
I work in a NICU, and while we do have donated breastmilk, we have to get it through a company that tests it. You never know what somebody's diet is like or if they are taking illegal or prescription drugs that can be in the milk. Good idea though!
Feel accomplished! U my friend @tylery have the juice!!
