Milk Storage
I really thought that as Hazel and Jude got older and started eating more that we'd have an easier time storing breast milk without it backing up all the time. Unfortunately, the opposite is true! Jude is now receiving a high calorie formula a quarter of the time and Hazel is receiving a quarter of her feeds directly from me. However, I'm still expressing as much or more than before, which is creating a major storage problem. We already have milk stored in 7 different freezers around town (thank you to all of our "storers"!) and I don't know what else to do! I'm thinking about packing it on ice and shipping it to Michigan. :) Anyone have any ideas???

Hi Heidi and Noel
We sold our deep freezer at our rummage sale this past summer. Here is a website about ideas http://community.babycenter.com/post/a24963745/how_many_of_you_purchased_a_deep_freezer_to_store_breastmilk
Maybe if you know someone who owns a restaurant with a walk in freezer that would be willing to let you store it.
We will do some more brain storming.
Belinda and Shaun:) We are still bathing all of you in our prayers:)

Maybe find out from the hospital if they know of a program that allows you to donate the extra supply to another baby or family.
We have some room in our freezer... just let us know!
I second the donate idea. I'm not sure if you're looking for profit, but I think it sells for like $3 per ounce!!!
Check and see how long you can store the milk. It may be that some that you are storing have gone beyond that date.
Heidi, you are a milk goddess :)
We have a deep freezer. Come over and store away!

That's right, Nattie does have a deep freezer. You can store some in our freezer too if you need space. We are just down the street from you at Ford.
