This is the storage rules from the center for disease control:Don't throw it away. As others said get storage bags, put whatever you pump into it and leave in the fridge. If you collect another amount same day you can add them together after both have cooled in the fridge. Do not add fresh pumped milk into cold milk in the fridge. You can also pump and directly freeze.

You can get milk storage bags and just label them for the date and whether it’s AM or PM milk and put in the fridge to cool.If you don’t use the milk within 1-2 days then put it in the freezer as it lasts longer in the freezer than the fridge. Rule of thumb is 4-6 hours room temp, 4-6 days in the fridge, 6 months in a regular freezer and up to a year in a deep freezer

Just so poster doesn't get confused as per CDC milk going into the freezer should be directly after expressing and not first stored in fridge then moved to freezer.

Oh no don’t throw it down the drain! I use my haaka on the opposite breast while pumping I collect 3-4oz alone in the haaka while pumping one breast then finish the other breast with my pump. Get milk storage bags.

Use it on the other side when nursing to catch let down. Keep two bottle for milk. Every time that you use the haka put it in a bottle then the next time you use it put that in another bottle once it cools you can mix them together but you cannot mix warm milk and cold milk together. so basically every time you use it put the new milk in a separate bottle that way it can cool down and once it has cooled down you can come put it in the other bottle.

So have a bottle that I keep in the fridge once I collect milk from the haaka put that in the fridge in a separate bottle and combine them once they are both cold?
