[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your feelings are understandable. You made it. You want your baby to benefit from it. But as long as you are making enough to keep up, it seems like worrying about “leftovers” is more emotion-based than substantive. That said, you should let your husband know that you’d like to build a larger reserve. Toward that end, freezing smaller portions that will not yield excess seems a good idea. And once you’ve thawed the milk and fed part of it, it probably is better not to re-serve the rest. [/quote]

I’m the original poster. It’s not just emotions. I put a lot of hard work into pumping. It’s a FT job. It’s hard work and I want to save as much as I can before while I have the supply.

The thawed milk is annoying but the excess milk at night really is what irks me. Throwing away 3oz of milk because it’s not 4oz for freezing is not okay with me. That’s a whole feeding right there. [/quote]

Perhaps you are over pumping and over saving? If you have a good supply, making a giant freezer stash is really unnecessary. Even if you go back to work, you’ll be pumping what baby needs while you are at work for the next day.  You may never need to use any of this stash. [/quote]
