Use of Frozen EBM ready for weaning

[Kaykoo]

Hello, I have some expressed breast milk in freezer that is aproaching three months old.( I have been unable to get DD to drink EBM.

Rather than waste it does anyone know if it safe to use it in some recipes ready for weaning in aprox two months time ?.

I thought I could use it to make rice pudding for baby etc and then freeze the rice pudding, but would that be the same as re-freezing the milk ?? which i know you should,nt do.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

i think it depends what type of freezer you have. is it a freezer compartment or a proper freezer? what star rating is it? also, how old was the milk before you froze it? if it was fresshly pumped its safer than if it were a few hours or a day old afaik

Thanks for that,

it is proper frezer with star rating of three.

The milk was 24hrs old when frozen.

I wouldn't refreeze it personally. Have just ditched the breast milk ds refused for months for that reason.

Yes, think i am going to do the same. Not worth the risk.

according to that (and kellymom is the oraacle of all things breast feeding), 3-6 months in a freezer which is part of a fridge/freezer set up is fine

Thanks for all your replies. Yes Kellymom is a great source of info too, thanks for that.
