Ummm best milk storage solution ?

Question

How did u store your breast milk? I’m planning to breastfeed exclusively for a while then breastfeed from the bottle. FTM. I have so many questions 🤦🏽‍♀️ 
1. When is a good time to start pumping.. what pump did u use? 
2. If u bottle feed using your breast milk what storage solution do u use? Milk bags?milk tray? 
3. How do I go about reheating frozen milk

Answer

1. I started pumping at 3 weeks and right after the first feeding in the morning I would pump on both sides at the same time for 15 minutes everyday to get up a stash. I use the Medela pump!
2. I use the medela breast milk storage bags and bought a little bin for the freezer to keep all the milk in. But I would let it freeze flat and then put it in the bin to save space!
3. You can either put it in the fridge to let it thaw and then put the bag or bottle in warm water for a few minutes or just thaw it in warm water till it’s warm if you’re going to use it right away. 
Milk is good in the fridge for 4 days 
On the counter for 4 hours 
And in the freezer for 6 months
And once you thaw milk you can’t put it back in the freezer 
And once it’s been warmed it’s only good for 4 hours- it can’t be put back in the fridge for another day. 
Hope this helps!! 😊

Answer

Pretty much same answer as Leah, but I use lansinoh bags! 
I also introduced the bottle at about 3 weeks once we were established with breastfeeding. I did this so that she wouldn’t refuse a bottle down the road. Once I did this, I would pump another time each day while my husband bottle fed her EBM so my body wouldn’t think we were dropping a feed!
