Can I mix expressed BM in the same bag?

[sazzybee]

I've just started expressing (DS is 9 weeks) and only get teeny tiny amounts right now but don't really want to pour it down the drain, nor do I want to have hundreds of those little bags in my freezer. Can I add milk from several sessions to the same bag? It says you can't on the bag but at this rate, I'm going to have to give him about 10 bags per feed!

Advice appreciated

I donated milk to the hospital for prem and ill babies whose mums couldn't bf and they told me that I could mix the milk as long as you date it from the first milk and you use it in the right time.

Excellent - ta for the quick reply

You can keep in the fridge and add to it the same day. After that I would freeze it, but you can top it up in the freezer, as long as the amount of fresh EBM you add is not greater than the frozen EBM. (let it cool a little too). Always date it from the oldest milk, as Mishw says. If you are going to use the milk within 3 days then I would just keep it in a bottle in the fridge, and top it up as you go. It is fine to store EBM in the fridge for 3 days.
Have you tried expressing at the same time as feeding DS? I always get much more that way. I also find first thing in the morning is best. What pump are you using? Oh, and congratulations on your LO
