    Definitely put it in the fridge first, then the freezer. As he hasn't had EBM before it's best to store 50ml lots. That way if he's being fussy with DH when he's trying to give him a bottle, then it won't all be wasted.
    Are you using a manual or electric? And how old is your DS?
    I used an electric and used to get 170-200ml in about 5 minutes from each side, but my DD was about 6 months old at this stage. If your DS is a newborn, you may not get as much.

    I'm going to try a hand pump. My ds is six weeks old. I it ok if I just store it in the fridge and forget the freezer seeing as Monday is only 4 days away?
