how do women pump freezers full? is it a gradual thing?

yes i pumped a freezer full in a month and that was just from feeding and pumping after or when she was asleep and i had to pump because my milk had let down. it was a great feeling to see it all stacked up and getting yelled at because we had no where to put freezer food lol

I only had a stash because my lil one was in the nicu. I have a hard time nursing and pumping.

@layancoy209, it happens if you pump frequently. Mines is packed to capacity. This was last week and this week it's literally piled up and my son is 7 weeks today.

@nurseriri, where do you put your food?

@layancoy209, whatever little food I had in freezer it's on freezer door. Had to start leaving breast milk at my boyfriends and sisters house. And I return to work end of May. Would eventually have to start giving him the older ones in bottles or donating to the hospital Nicu where I work. He's never drank in a bottle so don't know if he would like it.

When does it go old? I know it takes 24 hours if it's in the fridge to go old but freezer what is the safe zone for that.

@shan548, its good in fridge about 5 days

@shan548, freezer about 6 months

my lactation nurse told me to remember it by 5. 5 hours out room temperature, 5 days in the fridge & 5 months in the freezer.

@nurseriri, you should lay them flat so it doesn't take up so much room! 😊

@paigesanchez14, the first month is all flat. Have to organize them in maybe shoeboxes to utilize space. And probably would have to donate

@nrrseriri, Yess!! I had to do the same thing
