Denise;
I understand about the detrimental aspects of formula.  But as a mother who
suffered many bouts of thrush, I wouldn't want to possibly give it to myself
again.
If I were trying to have a "stock pile" of EBM ready for what ever reason, I
think I would be waiting until the yeast was gone before trying to collect
and save it.
