I am a working mother, and I am forced to pump milk because I am not home with my daughter all day. They tell me not to mix milk from different pump sessions even if they are only a couple hours apart. My question is.
1. Say I am pumping and I only get 2oz at noon and pump again say at 3 and only get another 2oz. 2oz is not enough for my daughter, she eats about 4. If she will be eating both at the same time, what is the problem if I put it in the same baggy and freeze it together rather than putting it in two separate bags.
2. I understand their is a very intricate science to freezing, so if that is not ok, then is it ok to put the two feedings into one bottle and put it in the fridge?
I just wanted to see why you shouldnt mix them, I don't see any harm in it aside from the time of day you pumped, but then again as long as you use it by the earlier of the two times that I dont think there should be a problem...
Thanks for helping me on this!!
