I know this was just discussed, and from what I gathered, we are not to
recommend refreezing because it kills more antibodies, etc. Then someone
suggested that this may still be superior to ABM. Well, this question
came up in this morning's "Working and Bfg" support group. I got to
talking about donating milk to a milk bank (people are fascinated there
is such a thing) and I remembered that donated milk is refrozen. Mother
sends it to bank in a frozen state, they thaw, process, pool milk (maybe
not in that order) and refreeze. So, if this is ok for preemies and sick
babies that need these antibodies the most, why can't a normal, healthy
4 mo old (or whatever) have its own mother's refrozen milk, if only done
in the most necessary cases?
I love being among you wise ones!
