when you pump how much do you store in each freezer bag?

Question

So when my baby was a new born I would store 2oz per bag .. that's pretty much all I made. Now when I pump I get anywhere between 4-8oz. I rarely give my baby the bottle she is ebf, right now all my milk bags in the freezer contain 4oz each! Sometimes she likes 4oz, sometimes she likes 5 and sometimes she will even take 6 - I don't want to waste any milk!

Answer

I do 2oz I only use that milk for his food he won't bottle feed that was none goes to waste if your baby takes the bottle i would do 3

Answer

I store mine in 3. That's plenty to fill my LO up. Some days 3oz will fill her for 3 hrs, sometimes closer to 2.5. I could prob give her a 4 oz portion and space the feedings apart a bit more, but I've tried that and ended up wasting milk,  which I 100% want to avoid!

Answer

I store bags that are anywhere from 1 to 2 ounces. That way if my LO needs more, it's quick to defrost and I'm not defrosting a huge bag and risking half of it going to waste.

Answer

I store anywhere from 3-6oz. Baby takes 4 right now when we do a bottle. My milk is for when I go back to work so my thought is bags will end up being combined to make appropriate sizes. And I will be sending multiple bags per day to equal the missed feedings. I'm a FTM so maybe I will regret the larger bags I don't know yet!

Answer

I always store in 5 oz. increments.

Answer

My 5 month old eats 4 oz so I store in 4oz increments. Some older packs I stored in 3oz I use for food mixing

Answer

I've heard store in 2&3oz measurements
