Hi girls. My ds is 4-months old now and I'm getting myself organised for weaning next month. He's exclusively breast-fed so when I start him on baby rice I want to use breastmilk.
My HV told me to freeze my breastmilk in ice-cube trays and simply pop a cube or two out each day when required. Sounds, good but I have a few questions on this and I'm hoping somebody can help.
- When I put the milk in the sterilised ice-cube trays do I cover it with something ? Is it ok to cover it with clingfilm ? Does this not affect it ?
- How long will it keep for ? I'm planning on expressing at the start of each week.
