Freezing Breast Milk

[RedButterfly]

How long can you freeze breast milk for? I would like to get a good stock up!

In a normal freezer, anywhere from 3 to 6 months is what I've been told. In a deep freezer, for a year.

Thanks. I read 6 months but I just wanted to make sure.

I kept mine for up to 6 months with no issues.

6 months in a regular freezer, 12 months in a deep freezer. But I've also read that unless the milk smells or tastes sour, it's probably still good even past those storage guidelines.
