Urgent EBM Question - Any BFC's or Expressing ladies please read.

[alux]

I just got to discovered 7oz of ebm in my handbag this morning that I should have left at nursery last nite when I picked up DD. It means she only has 5 oz there right now. I just tasted the 7oz and they taste fine. It was refridgerated immediately last night in sterile bags and no one's mouth has touched it.

Question: knowing all the anti-bac qualities of emb, would you risk feeding dd this or should I pour it down the drain and pump like mad and rush deliver over what I can manage today. I think I can pump and deliver enough to see her thru the rest of the day.

Oh 8 days.. I've never gone over that, yay! I'm a good mummy after all lol

You guys should have been there when I had to fly home from Colorado to TN with 25 bags of ebm in my carry-on luggage! I had been there for 4 days for a wedding and was determined not to throw any out

JW..fantastic!
Talk about commitment to the cause!
Did Customs check it out???

It did have to go through the machine as I was heading to the gate. I quizzed them at length about the safety! did not want anything to happen to my precious milk

it is amazing how possessive and protective you can get over expressed milk - especially if it took lots of effort to get it.

I was always miffed with DS1 - he would never drink it from a bottle - would wait til I got home - so I used to get it in him by making it into rice pudding or semolina - no way I was going to waste it!

ds3 was like that throckenholt! I would feed him the EBM rice pudding and think "Ha, fooled you!" He now takes a bottle, though. My Mum succeeded where all others failed!

So, the holding the nose trick worked, eh, chipmonkey?

No, Jabberwocky, that was my MIL! Quite a different person from my mum!

oops, sorry! That is a mix-up on my part, isn't it?
