week 21 (freezer stash takeover) 141 - 147 days

i've created quite a large freezer stash. in fact, one entire freezer shelf is now devoted entirely to breast milk. thats a lot of freezer real estate to have occupied. confession: we've never given boo frozen milk. frozen breast milk is good in the freezer for 3 to 6 months according to kellymom, but only 4 months according to my lactation consultant susan. ive been building my frozen stash since my freezer broke back in week 8. that means a large portion of my stash is due to expire soon. then what? i emailed susan to ask for her advice. her response:

"that is why you should be rotating your frozen stock - start using frozen milk and freezing the new stuff - when you get to a "less Old" batch frozen then you can do half and half (give have frozen defrosted and half freshly pumped) - milk is good for 4 months in freezer. do NOT shake it when defrosting or heating."
