Thawed breastmilk?
I've been storing my breastmilk in 3oz and 2oz bags. Thing is, my daughter has been wanting 4oz now. I have more 3oz bags than 2oz bags. Can I thaw out the 2oz bags under water and then store the other 1oz for later in the fridge or once it's thawed under water, it can't be reused? Hope this makes sense!

Yeah you can do that.

Yes

It can't be reused if you use hot water. Once it has been heated it can't be reheated. Try freezing your milk in ice cube trays. Each cube is an ounce.

Just use the one bag and then feed her the additional ounce or so fresh from the pump or latch her. That's what I do

Once thawed it is only good for 24 hours

Thaw in the fridge the night before. That way you can separate it cold and use the remainder with the next feed. Once it's ran under water you cannot put back in fridge.

I'm sure she will need 5 oz in no time, so you can always use it later and pump 1oz toppers for now. I believe it can't be reheated when it's already heated/thawed
