On the other hand, a working and pumping mom might well decide to
supplement rather than deal with having to freeze between Friday and
Monday.  Is it really fair to know that longer storage times are
acceptable, and not tell the moms so they can make their own decision? In
my organization (not LLL) I've had this discussion with several counsellors
who feel that _they_ would be uncomfortable with the longer storage times,
but I feel that it is the mother's place to make the decision, not ours.

I tell moms that up to 8 days is acceptable, and after that the milk _must_
go.  Even though longer is probably fine too, 8 days is as long as research
supports.
