Using saved breastmilk from my illness time?

[Jezzielin]

Yesterday I had a 24 hour flu bug (so bad)I ended up saving my milk and putting it in the fridge. I did breast-feed some but for the milk I have in the fridge should I go ahead and save it or should I give it to her with her next feeds?

I know not to dump it, but wondering if there are any antibodies that I should be trying to give to her now... Otherwise I will put them in freezer bags with the rest of my stash!

Thanks!

I'd give it to lo. I'm not sure how many of the antibodies are destroyed in the freezer, if any, so I'm not sure if storing in the freezer would be beneficial as far as the antibodies are concerned.

Id give it now too! That way LO can get the antibodies now when she will need them

Crap I only gave her a couple bottles of it and froze the rest because I didn't hear back! Maybe I should take it out and give it to her today? Thank God I only had a 24 hour bug I have not thrown up that much in my whole life! N I made a quick recovery though.

Don't stress there's no right or wrong!
