Little Bags of Milk
Mommy's milk is nourishing
Though can be discouraging
Pump with all her might
Baby out of her sight
Build a stash she goes
Every little drop froze
Soon it'll be back to work
A mother's heart will hurt
But baby gets the best
Expressed from mommy's breast
Stored very cold
Baby's liquid gold
I have 21 little bags of milk in the freezer. 50+ ounces. Another month to build a freezer stash. Of course, now I need to get more serious about my pumping so I have plenty. The only problem will be freezer space if I'm not careful. I'll have them ready for a rotating basis.
The potential bad thing is she still hasn't ever had a bottle, but there hasn't been any opportunities to need for her to have a bottle, either.
