pumping question...

If I pump and only got a little amount 2 times...if im freezing them can I combine them since its being frozen anyway? The last two times I got less than 10ml and im wondering if I can combine them in the freezer containers so there's actually a good size bottle for me to take to the nicu tmro

I used to do it all the time. As long as its pumped within a day of each other and you are freezing it it doesn't matter. I'd combine milk I wasn't freezing too just go by the oldest as to when it expires.

My nicu papers said not to combine and to refrigerate if I was bringing them within 24hrs. But, a couple of the nicu nurses combined what I had pumped and gave it to him. So honestly I haven't idea. It'd be best to call the nicu and ask.

I've always heard to never combine your milk.
