HELP PLEASE?!

Breastfeeding question! Okay, so it says in a breastfeeding booklet if i pump my milk into a bottle, once bub starts drinking it you have to discard the rest of it after the feeding.. If i wanna go out one night how can i store all my milk? I only have like 4 bottles.. Can i pump it all into a litre bottle or something and then my mum can pour small amounts into baby bottles? I tried ringing a breastfeeding hotline but of course its too busy -.-

They have special bags for storage. In single serving freezer bags it can last 6 months. If you store it as a whole it last 3 months. Once you unthaw it you can't refreeze it.

They sell bags specifically for breast milk. Even a rack that holds up to 10bags for the refrigerator or the freezer.
