EBM Question

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?

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).

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.

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.

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

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).
