Yay!!! I really didn't want to throw it!!!! Am of the same opinion - its like gold!!!! Have got a nice wee stock brewing in freezer - have started using the glad freezer bags, which I figure a whole full bag is about 2.5 feeds. (the icecube freezer bags I mean)

And Yes bombshell *bows her head* I know, I will (apart from the bananas - which I jsut can't bring myself to eat - I hate Bananas unfortunatly - have tried and tried to like them).]]> Sat, 02 Jun 2007 07:43:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153958&title=ebm-question#153958 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153917&title=ebm-question#153917 Author: Maya

I did that when we were in hospital when Mercedes had her apnoea - the stupid hospital don't use the right bottles with their pumps so they don't thread properly and I didn't realise until the bottle got heavy as it got full and dropped all over the floor ]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 22:52:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153917&title=ebm-question#153917 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153907&title=ebm-question#153907 Author: Redbedrock

I kept everything too, I remember having a huge row with neil when he didn't screw the top on the bottle properly and it ended up all over Fay and the sofa. I was upset as 100ml of milk would have taken me an hour to express and he was upset in case the sofa got a stain ]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 22:41:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153907&title=ebm-question#153907 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153831&title=ebm-question#153831 Author: Maya

Yup, me too! I used to get really feisty when the gremlins didn't finish their feeds and I had to throw the remains in the bottle away Silly babies, they didn't know how hard I'd worked to get every single ml!

Freeze it, you can always use it for mixing baby rice when she starts solids.]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 19:12:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153831&title=ebm-question#153831 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153753&title=ebm-question#153753 Author: yummymummy

I would save it as well as long as you have enough containers. You have it - why throw it away? Even if you don't use it to feed her now, you can always use it later to thin down solids.]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 16:27:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153753&title=ebm-question#153753 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153723&title=ebm-question#153723 Author: Bombshell

you know im going to tell you to get back on the oatmeal and yeast dont you!!! and mum says make sure you eat a banana a day too!

I also say keep the milk - you never know when you or dad might want to use it and there is nothing wrong with it. We are comign up to winter flu season and if you get sick you will be grateful for EBM on hand.]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 15:50:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153723&title=ebm-question#153723 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153668&title=ebm-question#153668 Author: MILF

keep it - you never know when you might just need a bit of time out and having a bottle of ebm in the freezer makes that so much easier! you can see the fatty part of the milk rises to the top after it has cooled down, it is quite interesting to see the different components of the milk i think.]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 14:02:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153668&title=ebm-question#153668 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153598&title=ebm-question#153598 Author: busymum

There's no harm in keeping it for 'just in case' but I wouldn't keep up expressing as a regular practice because I don't think it will help increase the hindmilk - not without increasing the foremilk anyway.]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 11:18:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153598&title=ebm-question#153598 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153561&title=ebm-question#153561 Author: mummy_becks

Freeze it in the ice cube thingie. I also express off some milk each day and freeze it so Josh can have a bottle of EMB at night. I also have been building up a little supply so that I can go away for a few hours and come home waxed and beautiful (i'm hanging to have my legs waxed, eyebrows done and a pedicure that was a present for me).]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 09:56:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153561&title=ebm-question#153561 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153508&title=ebm-question#153508 Author: thunderwolves

Ok, so have figured out Elle's gurgling tummy and low weight gains probably have something to do with my milk, and the fact that I seem to have a good supply but alot of foremilk, so have begun expressing a bit off, and feeding her for a long time on one side. This morning I feed her from the one side and expressed the otherside off (otherwise I would've been completly lopsided lol).

So my question is should I keep this milk (its 120ml - seems a waste to chuck it) to freeze, and maybe try expessing after she goes to bed tonight to get more hind milk in it, or should I really just get rid of it?]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 07:36:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7927&PID=153485&title=ebm-question#153485
