Ok so I plan on B/F bub as long as possible thise time. With ds1 I had to express as he was 14 weeks early so I did so for 3 months i then fed ds2 for 4 months. So this time I thought I would get a bit of a head start and have been expressing the colostrum I have today I have 14ml so far thats in 2 short sitting.... However my question is... So out of the 14ml I have 10ml in the freezer and put the 4ml in the fridge (in seringes) But with the 4ml seringe can I keep it in the fridge and add to it later today making sure i put it in the freezer tonight... Or should I just freeze it now, jsut thinking of saving on seringes and stuff... Please any advisse would help...

Yep you can keep adding to it, as long as you freeze it before five days post the first day you started. (ITMS) As breast milk is fine in the fridge for up to 5 days.:australia-flag-06:
