My eldest...

I had to hand express a cup of bm this morning, A fed a couple of times in the night, but as she's been boob attached for a few days, my supply was expecting 10000 feeds.

I left the cup out, and Lizzie just downed the whole thing. She's now asking for more. We self weaned with L when she was heading to 18 months, I think pregnancy made her go off the taste of my milk, but now I think she's interested in the odd glass!

I was going to donate, but I now think I may just boost her up with some during the winter months?!

I do the same with my 2 older girls ages 3 and 5.5. They don't know its breastmilk though and I wont tell them because they've already said they wouldnt ever drink it. Little do they know! They each have a few oz every day. I bf my 2nd for 24 months, but my 1st only had breastmilk for 3 months. So I feel better knowing she's getting some now. Better Late than never! I'm sad I didn't think to do this when I was bf'ing my 2nd. I over produced then too and just froze it then threw it out when it expired. I threw away around 1,000 oz

I think that's a great idea! I stopped nursing my toddler just shy of 13 months and since DD2 has been born DD1 now drinks about 15-20oz of EBM a day as we're trying to rotate out some of my older milk. She knows it's "mommy's milk" and loves it!
