The “Pitcher Method”

The “pitcher method”…

At first I was not really sure how I was going to like this. Especially because I don’t completely lean into the new guideline of mixing cold and warm breast milk being ok….. buttttt I actually love it.

With my first there was constantly a million little bottles in the fridge with different dates. It made it hard to bag milk and sometimes one may get lost in the abyss of our fridge.

This time around all of the milk for the day goes in this pitcher. I still have a little off to the side that I cool the milk in before I add it in but it’s only one other container. If you aren’t weirded out mixing cold and warm milk than you wouldn’t even have to worry about that.

At the end of the day, either my husband or myself bags the milk from the day! Leaving anything under 4 oz in the fridge for the next day. This allows the milk to all have the same nutritional value as well! Some expressed milk will be fattier than others.

The pitcher method makes things way easier and helps to lessen the load from nursing/pumping for sure.

You can use any mason jar but I LOVE these cute containers to easily identify BM in the fridge. they also sell just the spouts if you didn’t want to buy the whole container.
