Direct latch
Do some mummies actlly dont store her bm because the baby can direct latch onto her ?? Just curious .. And do any mummies here actlly consume Legendairy Milk products ; switch one product to another ? Like example ; today she took the Pump Princess then tomorrow she switch to Cash Cow .
It depends on your needs and if you've been able to establish a good latch. I do mix direct latch and bottle feeding of expressed bm. It was a feeding pattern from birth as I had a difficult time establishing direct latch. If you're okay with direct latch and you're not returning to work / need another caregiver to feed, you don't have to build a stash. In terms of stashing, it's better to use the chilled bm within 1-2 days for the optimal freshness (though up to a week is fine if it's kept at the back of the fridge and milk doesn't smell or taste rancid). Some antibodies do get lost when bm is frozen. They also tend to taste different from fresh or chilled bm. It tastes soapy / metallic due to changes in the enzyme lipase in the milk. I alternated legendairy milk products when I was trying out! Personally I found a dip when i switched between some products and it's the most effective when I stick to one product. I'm using liquid gold now as it works the best for me. I do take sunflower lecithin daily to avoid clogged ducts.
