I am a breastfeeding advocate. I made a promise that I will exclusively breastfeed my children and will do everything to keep up my milk supply. My daughter was breastfed for 1 year and 9 months and still continued to drink breast milk from the bottle until she was 2. I thought, “Finally, it’s over!” I had mixed emotions when she started weaning- I was happy that I don’t need to pump milk or to wear my not so fancy nursing bra but I was also sad because it became a routine for me that suddenly stopped. I’m just glad that we didn’t have to fight over weaning her. Now with my son who is almost 4 months old, I’m trying to do the exact same thing-pump, drink malunggay capsules, drink my nursing tea (not so yummy tbh) and drink lots and lots of water. I pump at least an extra 5oz a day, not bad right? So I was able to build my milk stash in a matter of two weeks! #blessed with breast milk. I happily placed everything in breast milk storage bags and would just thaw whenever I need to leave the house for a while.
I never had problems with storing my milk- I used different brands of milk bags and even had my milk brought home from Hong Kong because I knew that the bags are strong enough to keep my milk intact.
When I started using Orange and Peach breast milk storage bags, which we bought from UP Town Center, I got really disappointed. The milk was spilling! I couldn’t believe my eyes. All breastfeeding moms would know that every drop counts and seeing my milk which I pumped for around twenty minutes gone in just around 20 seconds was just unacceptable!! Maybe it was just me? Did I store it the wrong way? Maybe. But it happened again, and again and again.

See the milk spilling? We had to put it in a container so I could still salvage the remaining milk (Don’t worry it’s clean)
