Breast Milk In Fridge

So i live with my hubby and his parents, hes 21 working and going to school, im 19 and on maternity leave if anyone was wondering. My father in law is a very picky "clean" person and hes really strict. Whatever's in the fridge for long or if theres somerhing in there he doesnt like he'll throw it out, so im wondering if its rude or improper if i start pumping and freezing milk for my baby... i dont wanna be rude or later have a problem because its his house his rules. Any suggestions on what i should do????

You can also store the bags of milk in some kind of plastic container in the freezer.  That way they are all in one spot and not in his face or on the frozen vegetables when he opens the fridge. Pinterest has a lot of good ideas to store it. Hope he is understanding. Good luck!

You could just ask him. He will let you know the truth. And if he says no get the mini fridge thing.

I totally understand, luckly i dont have to deal with that, i moved out once i found out i was pregnant. But my dad is the same way hes very picky and clean, and wants things a certain way. When id leave something on the counter hed throw it away cause its in his way... pissed me off. Anyways id talk to him about it, see if its ok, if its not ask him if you can invest in a mini fridge to store your milk, tell him youll pay for it. Definitely ask first, he'll see it asa rrespectful grown up move

He should understand.  Talk to him before you do it

Maybe get one of those small dorm room refrigerators and put it in your room.

You shouldn't have to worry about that, I'd think that's something that in no way should be a problem. It's your baby's food and it's totally natural and very healthy for your baby. If you're concerned I'd recommend just bringing it up letting them know you're planning on doing it. :)
