New Freezer!


We're getting a new freezer today (hopefully), thank goodness. My milk has been flowing since the Saturday after Claire was born and we have no more room in the freezer. As you can see, we have a plentiful supply. I am about 20 days ahead of Claire and can pump 40 ounces a day while she is only taking 20-24. This way I can stop pumping a bit earlier and she will still get the benefit of mom's milk. We finally bit the bullet and bought an upright freezer to move said milk into for the time being. After that we will likely use it for other things like my frozen lunches for work and ice cream.

Perhaps you can donate to a milk bank and benefit those babies whose mothers are not able to provide, many times due to illness, medication, adoption or foster care.

You should check with your doctor before deciding to donate. There are several donation organizations worth investigating.

Wow! Jaw dropping! Won't it be nice to have room in your freezer for ice cream and have time to eat it between pumpings, too?
