Title: Not enough freezer space!!!
Post by: deb on November 07, 2005, 18:23:39 pm: Now that Natalie has a cold AND new teeth coming in, she's decided that my rght breast isn't comfortable for her, at least for the time being. So far in the last 2 days I've pumped FOUR bags of milk for the freezer (4-6 ounces EACH), and I already had one in there. If I keep going at this rate, we're going to have to start removing adult food in another day.

I've thought about thawing the older stuff and using it on my breakfast cereal :lol: , but not sure if there are any other good uses out there in case it really gets backed up till her nose unstuffs and her teeth come in and she starts nursing both sides again.

Suggestions?

There is a post a few down that another mom was having a similar "problem" of too much milk stored! :lol:

Awesome pumping output! You go! :D

I give excess ebm to my puppy. He loves it!

Hey, if she ever gets over this thing I just might do that.....assuming she knows how to take a bottle any more. :?

Yup, after reading your other post I think you might need a break when this is all said and done. :wink: Hope your lo's get better soon. :cry:

Post by: jbepko on November 10, 2005, 03:06:13 am: I have a stand-alone freezer in the garage that used to hold frozen meals I made ahead and shopping trips to Costco....its all milk now!!!
700 oz and counting....I can't stop stockpiling (its like an e-bay addiction)...I had problems with supply with my first and now I'm an over-producer! Maybe there's a black market for EBM!!! LOL!!!
