If u Google it, u can store it for months

Up to 6 months frozen and you do not need to pit anythingnin it! :slight_smile:

They sell breast milk storage bags at most grocery stores, and WalMart and Target. 3-6 months in regular freezer, 6-12 months in deep freezer.

6 months in a regular freezer, 1 year in a deep freeze.

You don’t need to add anything to it

Don’t put anything in it. Regular freezer for up to 6 months. Deep freezer for up to 12 months.

They have storage bags at walmart in the baby section. In a regular top freezer you can store up to 6 months and up to 12 months in a deep freezer

The best answer you can get would be from your pediatrician.

You can freeze it for 6-12 months min/max depending on your freezee. When you want to use it. All you do is take it out the freezer and put it in the fridge or you can run it under luke warm water to defrost that way and it will be warm for the baby. My kids never took cold. If you take it from the freezer to fridge do a few at different times throughout the day so you have one ready when it’s needed. It of course takes longer to defrost that way. Most stores sell breast milk storage bags. Even grocery stores do !

keep it stored in the very back of your freezer so it stays the coldest. dont put anything in it. keep it sealed in air tight bags or bottles. 6 months in a regular freezer.

some moms produce more lipase in their milk. doesn’t change the taste but it can affect the smell of the milk and baby could reject it I had to toss my freezer stash because my baby wouldn’t take any of my frozen milk that was more than 2 weeks old.

They have milk storage bags that are freezable
