How I Store My Breastmilk 🥛

When I first started breastfeeding my daughter my goal was to continue past the 6 month point that pediatricians recommend.

Since I’ve known I wanted to become a mother, I’ve always wanted to breastfeed for the 1st year of my children’s lives. Breast milk has so many natural nutrients for baby and can boost your child’s immune system as well as their brain growth.

The way that I chose to achieve this goal is by supplementing with formula until I was able to increase my supply in order to have enough to store multiple bags a day from pump sessions, as well as breastfeed my baby. Currently, I produce at least 4 oz per pump session and about 7 oz at the first pump of the day. I use a pitcher to collect up to 4 days worth of milk and then pour 6oz bags to freeze.

I started collecting about 2 weeks postpartum (a week shy from a month) and I now have around 40 or so bags stored.
