Home Forums Etc... Related Issues Frozen BM on the go?

I would not worry about it until 6 months at least. I have bm that I have had frozen for a year and it is fine.

Thanks Jennifer. If 6 months are OK, I sure hope my baby will be here and using my supply before it hits that mark.

Lenore has always said a year. I trust her information completely. If you don't want to wait that long then do 6 months. You will be perfectly safe at the 6 month mark. If it has stayed frozen and not been thawed prior to that it is fine. Do you have a chest freezer or just one over the fridge?

when they say 3 months they are refering to the freezer over the fridge because its usually opened all the time. So warm air hits your frozen bags. Remember... these are only guidelines. They think of every situation possible and try to make guidelines to accomadate everything. ( my spelling is horrible today!)

Laurie and Nona, I have an over the fridge freezer. That means it's opened more frequently than a chest freezer, and the fridge itself is being opened every 5 minutes :-)

So in that case, should I go with the 3 months mark or 6 months.

I think I'm driving myself crazy with all the thinking and worrying. But I wouldn't want to put my future baby at any risk.

I would store the milk as far back away from the door as possible and go for 6 months.

OK , thanks for the always good tipes Laurie.
