Dear Shirley,

I remember this discussion earlier. One observation was anything with a very 
high sugar content or high fat content won't freeze and one I remember was non 
freezing milk did finally freeze after 3-4 days! however what was concurred was 
although this is a rare occurence, If EBM has freezing temperature when tested, 
then it is safe to use as no bacterial growth can occur at that temperature.

I remember Leanna Watson one of them on this group had a personal experience on 
this one.

I hope that helps

Subject: Storage of breast milk

I had a question from a mother who started to freeze her milk and found that 
milk from one breast will not freeze.  The milk from the other breast freezes 
without difficulty.  She has adjusted freezer temp and changed the spot in the 
freezer with no change in result.  I think I heard about this in the past, maybe 
due to fat content but haven't been able to find it in the archives, on-line or 
in my resources.  Anyone else remember this problem and what we told the mom to 
do?
Thanks for any info.
