My husband and I are disagreeing on this issue. I just started going back to work today; baby is in daycare. We have about 200 ounces of BM saved in the freezer. I am able to pump twice a day at work and once in the morning before work. Should we send frozen/thawed milk to daycare, or use what I pump the day before? I've read fresh is best, but husband doesn't want the frozen milk to sit in the freezer to long and go bad. I hate to have to throw out any unused thawed milk from daycare though (I want to breastfeed in the evenings since I'm not able to do it as frequently during the day).
Thanks for the input!!
Re: Fresh or frozen BM to send to daycare?
Also, in regards to worries about milk being wasted. In my area, there's an organization called the milk bank, that takes donations of breast milk for NICU babies. I'm pretty sure they conver all costs and provide shipping materials. I'd imagine if you Google milk bank you can find info.
