I can't express that much cos as soon as I am full, it's feeding time so I don't get the chance to express any off. If I go out anywhere or for whatever reason give him a bottle of formula, I express off that feed when I get the chance.

I use it from the freezer or the fridge and put it straight into a bowl of hot water until it's defrosted and/or hot enough. I don't defrost any other way than just using it straight from the freezer/fridge.

The link above is good for storage info and times...

Hope that helps a little.. x
