Brick milk with me ✨
As a mother experiencing breast milk oversupply, I found that organizing milk storage into 'bricks' really helped me manage the large volumes efficiently. The concept involves freezing breast milk in flat, stackable portions, often called bricks, which maximizes freezer space and helps me keep track of what I have stored. During one week, I managed to freeze about 280 ounces of milk, neatly arranged in clear boxes to see and access the milk easily. This method not only aids in managing supply but also supports my body transformation journey by reducing leftover milk waste. If you are a breastfeeding mom facing similar challenges, I recommend using silicone breast milk storage bags or freezer-friendly containers designed for flat storage. Label each brick with the date to ensure you use the oldest milk first. Additionally, this method promotes independence and helps me balance mom life and body goals by transforming the oversupply into a well-organized resource. It's a small change that made a huge difference in my breastfeeding routine and freezer management.
