Managed to express - quick question though!!!

Im having ny hair cut this afternoon, and Corey must be having growth spurt cos he is on and off all the time! So I was a bit worried about being away for an hour, so i have tried pumping this morning while he was feeding (After reading through the posts in this section for tips ).
Any way, ive managed 2 ounces, which i thought was quite good for a first go! I dont really want to give him ebm, but i just wanted some on hand in case he gets really narky for Dave while im out later!

My question is, If i express a bit more later, can i add it to this 2 ounces i have already expressed, or do i store it seperate?
If they are to be stored seperate, can they be added together at heating time?

I have read the tips on storage and heating etc, so i know not to microwave or shake.

well im not an expert on expressing and this time is the first time ive done it sucessfully, but from my experience 2oz is great! when i express i always store diferent times seperately but i believe its possible to mix the milks to feed. however if youre worried put them in seperate bottles and feed as needed. good luck :boob:

I would store in separate bags/bottles- you will not waste to much if he will only have sip or two from bottle,and if he would want more- you can always defrost/ heat up some more.
2 oz should be plenty- my tip is to feed before you leave home; sometimes i would feed with my handbag and shoes on! "Rule " says 1 oz per hour so 2 oz should do an hour, etc.

I just pumped the 2 ounces, which he had while i was out - Dave said he demolished it! I was going on the 1 ounce per hour - greedy so-and-so!
He went straight back on breast when i got in - which was my concern with nipple confusion.
I got some storage bags while i was out so i can build a bit up if i need to!

Great!
Tip: store them flat in freezer; I like old margarine tubs; pile milk up one on top another; tubs give extra protection from frost bite and other frozen items.

Thanks hun - thats a good idea! :aww:
