hi lactnuts what i tell parents about storage is this: think of your breastmilk as a food. if you take a pork chop out of the freezer and then you don't cook it that day, you do not refreeze it, rather you try to cook it soon. if you buy milk at the grocery, it keeps about a week in the refrigerator, you smell it and throw it out if it is sour. it takes the mystery out of it a little, and gives it a common sense approach I think.
