Can I add freshly expressed breast milk to EBM which is already frozen?
As milk which has just been expressed is likely to be warm, it is not considered a good idea to add it directly to frozen breast milk, as it could cause partial thawing. If you wish to add milk to that which is frozen, it is suggested that you refrigerate the fresh milk first. It is worthwhile bearing in mind too, that EBM is probably the most useful when it is stored in small amounts (to minimise wastage), so often simply freezing each batch separately is sufficient anyway.
