- He’s been throwing out thawed milk. Our baby drinks 2-3oz per feeding and I save milk in 4oz portions to get as much use out of freezer bags. He will thaw the 4oz and feed the entire amount and dump the rest he doesn’t eat. I would prefer that he fill the bottle to 2-3oz and save the rest for another feed.

- I let him handle storing milk and washing. He will freeze at night what wasn’t consumed in the last 24 hours. He fills as many 4oz bags as possible but tosses the rest of the milk if it’s not enough to fill a 4oz bag. I’ve calculated all this and he’s been dumping 20+ ounces a week down the drain.

After reading this description, I think you are overreacting. I thought he was throwing out bottles of milk, not leftover ounces. Since you are blessed with an oversupply, it really isn't a big deal. [/quote]

I’m the original poster.

He is throwing out bottles. He bags all the milk after 24 hours to freeze. If he comes shy of 4oz after filling up all other bags, he will toss the milk. That’s 2-3oz a day. That adds up.

Even 2-3oz a day is enraging because it’s perfectly good milk and could just be put back in the fridge or frozen on its own.

He thinks freezing less than 4oz isn’t smart. He also doesn’t keep milk in the fridge for more than 24 hours before he freezes or dumps even though it’s safe for 4 days. Any leftover milk drank from the bottle is tossed in 30 minutes.

One time we fought because I accidentally fell asleep and left my pumped milk out instead of immediately putting it in the fridge. He dumped 12oz of milk because it was left at room temp for a little over 1 hour.

[b]I like to save milk for baths or just to have on hand for anything[/b] but he tosses anything he deems “ unsafe”. [/quote]
My take away from all this is that you are pouring milk into the bathwater. Am I reading that right? I don't see how that is any better than pouring it down the drain. [/quote]
