Is milk pumped at 1 month old still good to give when they’re 4 months old?

I pumped and froze some milk when baby was 1 month old. I’m now going away for work for 24 hours and plan to defrost this for DH to give. But I’ve read that your body produces different milk at different ages to meet their specific needs at that time/age etc… So now that he’s 4 months old, will this milk not be right for him? Or am I overthinking it?

Breast mill keeps well
i would use it and keep pumping if you can to build a little stash

I think you may be overthinking things. Milk does change with the baby’s age but it will still be good.

Have you tried pumping recently? And have you already left LO with whoever will be looking after them whilst you’re away?
