UGH
MIL took care of LO for the first time today…
We were gone for 6ish hours
Came home and my freezer stash is at 0!!!!
There is absolutely no way she drank 30+ oz of milk in 6 hours.
She formula fed her kids so maybe she doesn’t know how much goes into producing BM? Idk. Just feel like maybe they were careless and a lot of milk went to waste today.
Don’t know what I’m looking for. Just need to vent.
My partner thinks I’m overreacting
UPDATE: wow, Thank you all SO much for your words of comfort and for making feel less crazy about the rage I felt. MIL was making high volume bottles and discarding what was left over. She also said that when she was thawing 2 of the bags, the bags ripped…
I don’t believe there was any malice behind the mishandling.
I’ve decided to “let it go” but not without taking it as a learning experience…
I don’t want any momma’s out there to go through this so here is what I took from the experience:

I don’t want any momma’s out there to go through this so here is what I took from the experience:
- Expect that the person taking care of your LO knows NOTHING about handling BM. ( I failed to leave instructions on feeding guidelines and BM handling)
- I will no longer be filling up the freezer bags to the full 6 oz capacity. Will limit it to 3-4 oz per bag.
- Leaving MIL with prepared bottles.
