Freshly ebm or frozen stash

Hi mummies, I have a stash of 7 litres of frozen bm due to LO jaundice so have to feed fm instead. Now LO can drink back bm, however we are doing mixed feeding. Also husband prefers to give freshly ebm and he doesn't want to give LO the frozen bm which are about 3 weeks long. He rather give fm. I feel heartache too..these bm are my hardwork and also painful sessions of releasing clog ducts. What should I do?

No issue with frozen BM just that it'll have a fishy metallic smell/taste. Doesn't mean it is bad but some babies may not like the smell/taste. Worth a try though. Understand your hubby's concern although it is still misplaced. It is your hard work and love and I will rage if I ever had 7l of bm go down the drain just like that. However if u are feeling generous and don't wish to push the issue with your hubby, you could donate to babies whose mummies don't have enough bm.

Thanks mummy! Yes especially the painful massage sessions to clear my clogged ducts😩 Thankfully husband agree to feed the frozen bm, and baby seems ok with the taste phew~ Am feeding fresh + recent stash..those older stash probably will use for bath.
