Ohh okay I jist bought a maternity bra thinking it was a nursing bra I will have to return it and look for some nursing bras. Thank you that was helpful. And about the milk storage bag do I just buy them and put my milk in there after I pump and put them in the freezer?

Hi ladies! Does anyone know if I can store Breast milk in ziplock freezer bags? The bags I have made specifically for breast milk don't close very well and I worry about freezer burn. If you have any advice I'd love to hear it!

-) and you never know what can happen.

html This is a good site on storage, and you can buy breast milk storage bags. You can freeze milk in them as well.

Breast milk has the rule of threes. Three hours out of the fridge. Three days in the fridge. Three weeks in a built in fridge freezer and three months in a proper freezer. You can get bags to store the milk in that doesn't take up heaps of space when you put them in the freezer. My mum told me not to store milk in the fridge door, I can't remember why but think it has something to do with not getting cool enough.

you can store it in the fridge for 2-3 days just make sure you date the milk also it can go in the freezer i think for upto 6 months and it is good to use the breast milk storage bags so you can date them also and then you can take them straight from the freezer and put the bag in the baby bottle warmer. when you buy the breast pump there should be a little book about breast feeding and everything that comes with it.

I'm doing research about storage for breast milk. I want something that's cost effective and will work. I'm not looking to create a huge stash of frozen milk because I don't have the space in my freezer nor do I have a deep freeze (yay apartment living). I have looked into the disposable bags. What a money sink. Plus the reviews I read do not put much faith into me using them. I came across a mom's blog about using mason jars.

Soo were on a very short budget and I want to breast feed to help with costs n not to mention its healthy for baby and me... My biggest concern is how to store the breast milk. I have an idea to use jelly jars my gram uses to freeze her strawberry jelly she makes... But I don't know if they would bust... I don't plan on filling them to the very tippie top.

I wouldn't put it in a water bottle if it were me. I would buy some cheap breast milk freezer bags to have them on hand for the next time. These either tie with a twist tie or they zip closed. You can get a huge amount for a few bucks at Target. Sounds like you are doing great with the breastfeeding!!!!!!

I was always told by my health visitor 5 days in the fridge (make sure you keep it at the back of the fridge and not in the door), 5 months in the freezer, also to defrost breast milk by putting it in the fridge over night.

Our hospital hands out flyers with breast feeding and milk storage tips when you leave the hospital. I breastfeed but my little one didnt take a bottle so i cant help you with the tips! There are lots of guidelines though like how long in the fridge and or freezer and how long at room temp!

Fridge is good for 4 days regular freezer 3-4 month and deep freezer 6-12 that's what the lactation consultant told me

when pump I would buy these special storage bags where the baby stuff is to freeze my milk I can get a good supply going on so when u want to quit u still will have some breast milk...

With my pump i got wee freezer bags to keep my milk in x

so ive got a breast pump just in case but i was wondering if breast milk can go in the firdge and get warmed up when its needed and if it can go in the fridge how long can it stay in there for.

Start feeding him the oldest milk first, in a regular freezer it can be kept up to 3 months and a deep freezer up to a year. You can put the milk in the same bag, just make sure you stick it in the fridge to make it cold first so it doesn't start to melt the milk that's already frozen.

Ypu can pour it into a milk storage bag after you pump. Just put them in the fridge for an hour tham transfer to the freezer if you want. Thats what i did.

I read that 5 is the magic number for breast milk. 5 hours at room temp, 5 days in the fridge and 5 in the freezer. I'd double check as I wasn't able to beast feed my 11 month old. Just carry a small cooler. Put it in a bottle with reusable ice packs. I will say that you HAVE to wait until you have a steady milk supply or you'll dry up slowly!

For breastfeeding, I personally suggest a pump and storage (like bottles and/or freezer bags) for the milk.
