Niamh was weighed today and is back to her birth weight (7lb 7oz) mw is very pleased with her.

in other news- had my first proper try at expressing and got 20ml- about 1oz. my question is, can i add to this milk if i express into another freshly sterilised bottle? and how long can i keep ebm in the fridge?

 

Hi there

Just to add Boots do boxes of 40 breastmilk storage bags, think its about £6.99 a pack.

You can add to bottles in the freezer/fridge. For example if you froze 2 oz in a bottle in the freezer, you could add another 2 oz but you must put it in the fridge to cool down first. However i would recommend the bags as they are more versatile. I used to use bottles as I donated milk to a milk bank last time and they supplied the bottles. You can also top up the bags in the fridge but make sure the milk is chilled first.

Congratulations on Niamh being back to her birth weight and on expressing - there is a technique to it so it gradually gets quicker and easier. Did you feel like moooing whilst doing it?
