Answer 2

clean milk could be frozen and stored for 3-4 months in a universal freezer, and for 6-12 months in a deep freezer at 0 ranges. never refreeze thawed milk. you would be wanting to thaw with lukewarm to heat water, and not in any respect positioned breast milk interior the microwave.

Answer 3

The usual answer is 3-6 months, unless it is in a deep freezer. I personally preferred 3-ish months. Always freeze in bags sold specifically for breast milk.

Answer 4

In a self-contained freezer unit of a refrigerator, 3-4 months.
In a separate deep freeze with a constant temperature, 6 months or longer.

Answer 5

When my granddaughter was born 2 1/2 years ago she had to be air lifted to another city with a better NICU facility. My daughter was pumping her breasts every day to take to the baby. When she asked about freezing it in case we couldn't get to the hospital every day. They told my daughter that the breast milk could be frozen for up to 2 weeks. It could just have been because my granddaughter was a preemie and they didn't want to take any chances, but I remember having to date the bags and taking them into the hospital with dry ice and they could not be kept for more than 2 weeks.

Answer 8

For better taste, i told my wife to store it for not more than 2 hours, if my baby does not want the milk, we throw it and start pump. This will keep the breast keep on empty. and produce more milk.

The experts say
You can keep milk that's been frozen and thawed in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but don't refreeze it.
To help pumped milk stay fresh longer, wash your hands before pumping and make sure the pump and collection bottles are very clean. (Washing in the dishwasher or in hot soapy water usually is fine.) Refrigerate or put your milk on ice soon after pumping — it will spoil faster if you keep it at room temperature.
