Part 2a : AL’s Breastmilk conquering the freezers …

Remember the messiness of managing the frozen milk in the previous post?

How Mummy managed it?

Besides the file, Mummy keep another log book to manage which storage bags will go to which ziplock bags and also which to use first FIFO (First In First Out).
Mummy will do this once every 2 weeks when Mummy exchanges the EBM between our freezer and Sam Yee's freezer. Sam Yee freezers will have 7 ziplock bags with each ziplock bags contains two days (based on pumping day) of frozen EBM. Each day there will be 6 bags of storage bags because Mummy will usually pump 3x daily, so total will be 3pumping x 2 breast = 6 storage bags. Once Mummy gets the EBM from Sam Yee's freezer then Mummy will start to pack into individual ziplock bags by total of about 20oz. This is to make thawing easier on daily basis because Mummy will just need to take one ziplock bag to thaw as each ziplock bags are being labeled already.

Now.... Help….both Sam Yee and our freezers are full. Mummy is having headache trying to squeeze all the frozen milk into the biggest compartment in our freezer. Yes, our own food are now located in the small compartment. This week is a really disaster because some of the EBM has to be placed on the small compartment with the rest of the frozen food (like chicken, ice-cream, etc..). All the frozen food is packed in the air tight Tupperware container to keep the freezer clean and also to keep the food fresh.

Mummy has not choice but to write an email to Dr Koe for SOS. Still waiting reply from her...

Mummy may have no choice but to throw some of the frozen EBM away….which Mummy is very very RELUCTANT and SAD.

HELP !!!!!!
