What to do with small amounts of milk?

Question

I use a haaka and sometimes will get less than an ounce when I'm nursing. Other times i'll catch a couple ounces. What do you do with the small amounts that you catch or pump? I've thrown it out a few times and it felt like such a waste.. but I also don't know if it's worth freezing as part of my stash?

Answer

I mix the milk together from multiple sessions to get the portion I want to freeze. You just have to make sure the milk is the same temp before mixing it together.

Answer

Like the previous commenter said, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray. It’s super useful to have one ounce of milk to mix with solids later on, as well as for teething. Otherwise you can pour it in another container all day and then at the end of the day (or every other day) freeze it all together. Just wait for it to get to the same temperature before combining.

Answer

You could use it for milk bath or freeze it in a ice tray for when bub is teething! That's what I'm doing with mine since he won't take a bottle! I get 2oz per boob though  🤷
