Breast milk

[JustSabrina]

Ok mommies i know this is for pregnant women but my baby was early and im a first time mom. She is in the nicu and i live 45 minutes from the hospital. I pump and then freeze. Is there a way to get it to the hospital without it melting or spoiling? I just dont know if i should keep it home till she comes home. But what if she doesn't want it when she comes home. Or take it there. Or maybe i should just ask her nurse. Im just worried that im pumping for no reason.

It I'll probably be easier in the baggies :) they will have bottles they Can use :)

[JustSabrina]

Thanks so much! One more question im sorry. Do you think they will care about what i take it in? Like if its in the baggies as apposed to some kind of bottle?

Youre definitely not pumping for mo reason. Id take it in to her. My first was in nursery for 3 weeks and id religiously take the milk in everyday. It helps them to recover as its full of antibodies. :) definitely keep at it. I know its hard but its worth it. Xxx

Yes small cooler with ice and or ice packs. Thats how i hauled mine back and forth from work. Dont give up and dont get disencouraged your are doing whats best for baby and giving baby a good chance at getting atronger by giving her the best. So if you can do it then more power to you. Also check with nurses jusy to make sure they can all be aware you ate bringing it in and so that they can tell you if you can build a little supply for her to use there at the hospital till she comes home.
