I hear a lot of moms create a freezer stash of breastmilk, but then I also hear that it doesnt taste so great once it's defrosted. I'm personally not a fan of defrosted food, The only food I have in my...

If I were a SAHM I wouldn't have frozen any milk. Alas, I am not and needed to make sure there would be plenty of milk for my son if I had a bad pumping day when away from him.

I pump when I'm at work and my son has that (refrigerated) milk the next day. I freeze any extra but actually have never had to use any of it because I always pump enough for him to just have it fresh....

@bee- you're right, I should probably think about that!@boogs- I would love to, but milk banks won't take it because I had a blood transfusion after delivery. I've looked into private donation but it...
