Reasons Why You May Want to Store Breast Milk
There are various reasons why you may want to store your breast milk. For one, this is particularly handy in case you want to have some extra liquid gold on hand, especially if you’re having a tough time expressing milk or are producing more than your baby needs.
Alternatively, storing breast milk when you have too much of it at any given time can be advantageous. This way, your baby can have it whenever they’re hungry or when they need it. This can also be helpful for when you’re always on the go, preparing to go back to work, or simply going away on a trip and want to have breast milk prepared for your precious baby.
If your partner is being left behind to care for your little one, chances are they’re in good hands with your stash of milk. Storing breast milk also makes it easier and more accessible for your partner or other helping hands to get your breast milk during feedings without having to wake you up.
