Frozen BM question

[txgrl16]

Okay so DD is 3 months and I have frozen BM in the back of my freezer which may get opened once a day...I dont have alot, maybe 10 bags, but if they're hitting the 3 mos mark do I need to use them and freeze my current pumps...I dont want to toss them, some of them are 5 ozs...and I'm not sure about donating yet, as I already feel like I'm not making enough for her...although she eats just fine, I would just like to have more of a freezer supply for later...any thoughts?

I always tried to recycle mine around the 3mo. mark by freezing the freshly pumped stuff in its place. I wouldn't toss them though not even if they reach the 6mo. mark.

If you end up with too much milk to recycle with fresh you could consider donating. Thats what I did and do when I build up a big supply.

I always keep 10-15 bags in the freezer though for the "just in case" thing.

i have a regular fridge in our basement and the freezer never gets opened and is set on the lowest setting, i open it once a week to add more BM, but even opening once a day wont hurt. you could recycle some fresh in there and use that up but thats up to your preference. my ds is 3mo and i have about 50 8oz cups down there. i started freezing in 8oz right away b/c i still had a freezer stash from my dd who stopped a couple months before he was born. i just keep stashing JIC soemthing happens that i have a back up

I have 100 5oz bags in my big freezer in the basement. I always rotate my stock by using the frozen and freezing what I pump at work.
It sometimes goes about 4 months old. My DD doesn't seem to mind it. She loves her booby milk
