How To Build A Realistic Breastmilk Freezer Stash - Easy! | My Pumping And Breastfeeding Routine

[@FLvybz07]

Thank you.. all of your tips are so precious to me!! Thank you. Exclusively nursing for 6 months but now I feel like I need a little set aside for really busy days and I've been feel unsure of myself about my routine. I have 4 pumps and the haakaa is my favorite because it's chemical free and easy to clean!! Thanks for the great into!

Finally! Hello from Malaysia. After hundreds (maybe less) of videos I watched, that show gazillion stashes they have. Finally I found someone who is on the same page as me, its okay not to have gazillion stashes! I exclusively breast feed my 4mo daughter. Been collecting stashes using a Haaka too, but soon gonna back to work and now only I start to collect some stash. I kind a dislike pumping, been buying accessories to make pumping easy but still, the tubes, timing n attention my daughter needs (she's a needy) make me feel difficult to pump every 3 hours on the clock. Thank you so much, you make me feel better by saying its okay to not have gazillion milk stashes. ❤️❤️

I was exactly like this with my first baby and I am about to have my second. I think I need to be careful that I don’t create an oversupply! I feel like I know more now about the supply and demand aspect and I will be more tempted to pump more earlier.

I really appreciate this video. I'm due in February and planning on combination breastfeeding and pumping. I want a stash (i don't necessarily need a huge one) but don't want to be always attached to the pump. Most videos I find are from people who exclusively pump, which doesn't really show what it's like for those who combination feed.

So glad it was helpful!

I do and have done the same thing as you, I just started working and I did not have a stash at all. Only enough for one day, so I have been using what I get the day prior. I do have an organic formula saved just in case she wants more and I ran out!

sounds like a great plan! :-)

Yes same here! I was low supply at first so I was a mom pumping after every feeding I was also then pumping when the bottle was given. But since returning to work and pumping for the next day I’ve been able to stash away 2 gallon size zip lock bags ( 1oz-4oz bags) We have recently been using formula on the weekends when my husband has the baby because we already opened it and can’t donate now so we are using it in hopes that I can give breastmilk longer. But yeah bottom line I’m very comfortable with the stash I have and using the Hakka every evening when I nurse has given me and extra bottle to freeze a day 🙌🏻

Thanks for posting a 'realistic' schedule

Thanks for sharing ftm exclusively pumping. Baby was really fussy and always wanted the boob for comfort first night home (baby was 4days by now) brutal nights. Pumping has been saving our journey so far! Realistic expectation you talked about is needed in this social media world⭐️
