LOL .

That must be so upsetting for you. You need to put it in the refrigerator. I would not refreeze it.

Maybe you should call up the laleche league at lalecheleague.com. They may know how long you can keep some of the bottles. It may be longer than you or I think.It is certainly worth inquiring about it.

I nursed my son for a little while and for me it was hard work. My son was a preemie who needed to be fed every 2 hours and I used an electric pump to extract the milk and it took me about 30 to 45 minutes to just several bottles. I don’t remember if I got any rest.

Yeah, I bet it is very upsetting. Good luck..

3 It is about fifty bottles. I use it when I go to work if I am short a bottle. It would have lasted over the next year if it hadn't thawed.

I wouldn't be able to use all of it up if I can't refreeze it. I will just have to throw it away. I am so upset about it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
