Anyone pump for milk bank?

[Kate3150]

I am at the moment and wondered how you go about mixing 2 separate pumps into the one sterilised bottle?
If I pump at 10am and 2pm, how can I safely combine to freeze using the one sterilised bottle? X

Hmmm. I hoped I could help as I pumped for a milk bank but I didn’t have this issue as I could fill a bottle from one expressing session (the bottles I had were pretty small). I would check with the milk bank but they may say they’d rather you didn’t combine and that you should just use 2 separate bottles.

No, but I wanted to really REALLY thank you both for your kind and selfless act.
My DD was born premature and relied on donor milk for a few weeks when I couldn’t feed her myself and she didn’t have her suck reflex yet.
Thank you more than I can ever say!

@girasol- thanks I’ve spoken to them and advised me how 😘

@FelicityPike- Awwww that’s put a huge smile on my face reading your comment. I absolutely love doing it. My son doesn’t feed as much as he used to and Ive pumped from when he was very young so I have quite a good supply still. It’s nice to hear that the milk bank helped you 💜

Just to say speak to the milk bank first about their requirements if you haven’t already - I had to throw close to 20 litres down the plug hole as they didn’t want it in bags! (Had stored it up while baby was in NNU, didn’t originally plan to donate).

😳😳😳 20 litres oh my goodness, breaks my heart xx
