Hi Ladies,
I am no longer BF or EBM feeding our DD, but I am planning to with number 2 when I go back to work.
DD day care have just revised their policy and it states:
* Check that all breast milk is clearly labelled with the name of the child and the date and time the milk was expressed; and
* Use the Breast Milk Storage Guidelines to ensure the breast milk is suitable for consumption
OK - I haven't got a copy of their Breast Milk storage guidelines yet, but will do.
My concerns are:
1 - I have never written the time I expressed on my EBM. I would express after each feed, and then at the end of the day freeze. Lactation consultant told me this was OK (yes I know your milk changes over the day, but my volumes were so small it wasn't worth freezing after each feed).
2 - So I have to write when I expressed it (as in time) but not how I stored it or how I defrosted it? Are they going to see a date that is 3 weeks ago and chuck it out?
I want to write a bit of a letter "correcting" them, but want to ensure I have the facts correct (and worded correctly).
Any thoughts? All input welcome!
