how do i store and use breastmilk that is good for 1 whole day

Hi mummies, how do I store breastmilk? Should it be on a separate storage per feed (e.g. 6 feedings should have 6 separate storage)? Then when i thaw in refrigirator for 24hrs to be used on the next day, is it still ok to consume those within the day? Please advise. Thank you

i combine all the milk at the end of the day then measure & freeze. i also bottle prep for the next day. for frozen milk, i thaw in cold water for about 10mins then when it’s still icy/in slushy form i prep my bottle, this is so my 24hrs starts later. 24 hrs start after the last ice crystal has thawed

i don’t label with time since i do this, some people prefer to feed morning milk to their babies in the morning & night milk at night but i tried many times & see no difference. i actually found it more of a hassle 😅 bm can vary throughout the day, maybe some pump will be fattier, less/more hindmilk etc, so combining them ensure that the milk is “consistent” & my lo won’t be missing out on maybe a fattier feed in a day. it depends on ur comfort level on whether u’re ok with not labelling time :) try checking out @bemybreastfriend & @exclusivelypumping on instagram, their accounts helped me alot 😊
