Hi all,
I've been looking on the Internet for answers but seem to come across so many differing opinions it's difficult to know what's best!
Firstly as I'm producing a large amount of milk at the moment, I'm running out of bottles when pumping into feed sized portions so I was wondering if it is ok to combine two or more chilled expresses into one bottle to save space - obviously I will use it by the 'expiry' date of the first express and will be pouring into newly sterilised bottles for feeding. also can I keep adding expresses together until a bottle is full or is there a limit as to how many expresses you should add together - it will not be over more than a 24 hour period per bottle.
Secondly as there will be around 8 ounces in each bottle if i am allowed to do the above and my little one is on no where near this amount - am I allowed to remove the full bottle from the fridge and pour a little at a time into a sterilised bottle for feeding and then put the rest back in the fridge and repeat this until the bottle is empty?
I don't want to freeze it as much as is possible as I've been told it kills some of the antibodies.
Who knew breastmilk was such a mine field!!!
Thanks in advance
