YES ! No More Milk Bags!
Posted by: Diana G.B on: October 29, 2009
Okay, have to just resign to fate. I don’t have a lot of breast milk to store for weeks. 
In my fridge, there are only 12-15 milk bags and besides feeding Asher my breast milk, I have to give him 30% of formula milk to make up his daily intakes. How sad… All right, now I will just keep expressing my milk, hmm… can’t tell how long will I be able to give him my EBM but hopefully, 6 months? * I will definetely reward myself if I can make it *
As I am not storing any of my EBM in my freezer, it is so wasted to keep getting milk bags and dispose them within the next 3 days, I decided to get glass bottles !

cheap, i got it cheap at 50 cents each with the ring and disk. this mummy who stays in yishun. she stopped BF I think. this ring and disk itself already cost $1-$1.20 then still have to thick skin go to the ward and ask the nurse to give, aiyah, bring back, wash and remove the paper. anyway, all these are not brand new either so I don’t mind. 
not much, i bought only 20 bottles from her, she has more than 50 but I think now left a bit.

Hi Diana, I used to give EBM to my 3 kids (1 boy & 2 twin gals)…alot of extra for my 1st but no extras for my twins…
The milk for freezing has to be placed right inside the freezer and can keep up to 2-3 mths…but after 1 mth, the taste changed and my boy refused it…I tink the taste will change once it’s frozen..
and for milk in the fridge, it can be stored up to 48 hrs..after tat better dun give bb, in case tummyache…i’ll drink it or get hubby to drink it with tea or coffee…so no wastage…
it’s pretty tedious to calculate…usually keep about 1-2 days worth of milk in the fridge and any extra, freeze it.
i always feed the older milk 1st..though my mum always complain and ask me to give him the fresh milk…:P

Hi Diana, I know different source will give you different information. Anyway, I stored them for 7 days in the fridge. My gal drank them and has no problem too. But I am mindful to store them right inside. For the freezer, I stored them for 3 months. =) Still having sore nipple? Try to latch on. =)

Ladies, thanks for your info, my sister was telling me the can actually store up to 7 days, so long don’t keeeeeep opening the door. Okay, so far, Asher has been taking my 3 days old EBM and has no issue at all, chubby and coping well.
Ladies, now I freeze my EBM straight to the freezer as I know I won’t be feeding him the next day, just like what Sam told me to. A bit leceh to bring down for thawing, I pack a few bags nicely in one single plastic bag ( slightly more for the next day supply) then bring the pack to the fridge the night before. If lesser, top up with formula milk because not enough time to thaw extra bag of milk.
Now in my freezer got 2 days supply ( for tml and day after ) and another plastic bag to put my today EBM. YES it is sooooo tedious to do calculation but actually all are within a week supply. should be super safe to give baby. I don’t think I can store up to a month supply.
then my glass bottles wasted liao loh!!! cannot put in the freezer, will break, right? Please don’t ask me to buy Avent Milk Storage, can only be sterillized up to 4x leh…keep buying I will go crazy.

No.. the glass bottles will not break. I did it before. My proof: http://chew-household.blogspot.com/2008/05/milk-milk-and-more-milk.html

Your sis is right.. don’t keep opening the fridge. =)

and now, looks like 20 bottles are not enough, feel like killing myself now.

Yes… I used many bottles at my peak…. Do you know that milk supply is at its peak between 4-5am? The lactation nurse at Mt Alvernia told me when I was in hospital. =)

Oh dear – I never express milk at this hour. Only for 1 week when Caleb has jaundice cannot come down, doc want him to try formula, then i was super diligent every 3 hours wake up to express.
