RR, I got this off one of the other sites I post on...

~~ How Long to Store Human Milk? ~~


*At room temp. (66-72 degrees): 10 hours

*In a fridge (32-39 degrees): 8 days

*In a freezer compartment (inside a fridge): 2 weeks

*In a freezer compartment w/ a seperate door: 3-4 months

*In a seperate deep freezer (0 degrees): 6 months

***Remember these are just guidelines and you may find your milk stays good for different periods of time!***


~~ Average EBM Intake By Age ~~


*0-2 months: 2-5 ounces per feeding

*2-4 months: 4-6 ounces per feeding

*4-6 months: 5-7 ounces per feeding


~~ Average EBM Intake By Weight ~~


*8 pounds: 21.3 ounces in 24 hours

*9 pounds: 24.0 ounces in 24 hours

*10 pounds: 26.7 ounces in 24 hours

*11 pounds: 29.3 ounces in 24 hours

*12 pounds: 32.0 ounces in 24 hours

*14 pounds: 37.3 ounces in 24 hours

*16 pounds: 42.7 ounces in 24 hours

***Again, these are just average guidelines ~ you may find your baby takes less or more than listed above.

THanks sooo much!!! I have almost enough for Monday..May have to resort to the freezer until my routine is established...In 4 weeks we can start Rice cereal and I think I will..THe Pedi recommended it but she said it was my choice cuz some moms refuse to start anything until 6 months....I am following my pedi's advice on everything..Although..no Oragel may kill us when teeting starts!!!!
Well..it is #2's birthday..and we are off to Sesame Street Live!!!!

Good morning!!

I wasn't a slug this morning!! We've been up since 8!! Stanley Steemer has been here and the rug looks so nice. The only stain that wouldn't come up is, of course, right where no furniture is going to cover it!! I may have to get a rug to cover it!! There is a matching rug to the bedding we chose so I may have to consider purchasing it. One step closer to a completed nursery. The handyman is coming on Monday to change the closet doors and paint AND my blinds are in!! This could be a done deal by Monday night!!

RR: Hope you have fun at the show.

Have a great Saturday.
