Hi mommies, wonder if any of you experienced mommies can help. My son is now 2months+. I have been freezing milk to store since he was born so now I have 2mths+ old milk in the freezer. I have been hearing different stories as to how long we can store breastmilk for in the freezer.. even websites say differently.
I have decided to store for maximum of 3 mths. This means I will need to start feeding baby the frozen ones and re-freeze new ones. So here is my question.... will our milk change? I will be feeding him milk that I stored when he was just a week old .. will there be any nutritional problems?
Also, do your babies drink frozen milk without difficulties? I have yet to try but I am afraid that my baby may reject frozen milk as I heard it has a weird taste to it. I am going overseas in January without baby so it is important that he can take frozen milk.
1 more last qn.. 3mths old frozen milk will lose some nutritional properties.. but it is still better than FM right?? Else really waste my time storing.. might as well feed FM...
thanks in adv for any help!
