In this episode, Barbara addresses a listener's question about using frozen breast milk from an earlier stage of a baby's life. Corren asks, “If I’m using frozen breast milk, is it okay to use breast milk from when my baby was 1 month old to feed my 5 month old? I know milk is good in the freezer for up to 6 months, but I worry that she won’t get enough calories since breast milk content changes as babies mature and grow.”She reassures that it is safe to use, but emphasizes the importance of understanding the implications on milk supply and quality. The conversation covers the benefits of fresh milk, the handling and storage of frozen milk, and best practices for ensuring a baby's nutritional needs are met while using frozen milk.
