Important information in case anyone has a power outage!

With a major winter storm potentially affecting dozens of states, we recognize the concerns many have about stored milk.

Updated to add: A stand alone freezer will maintain temperature for 48 hours in a power outage if unopened. A freezer compartment within a fridge will maintain temperature for 24 hours if unopened.

[Image Description] Photo of a wintery scene. Text on top reads, "Power outage? Worried about your frozen milk? Try to keep the freezer door completely shut while power is out. Once power is restored, check to see if there are any ice crystals that remain in the bags. If there are any frozen ice crystals at all, it may be refrozen." The La Leche League USA logo is below the text.

La Leche League would love to hear and share your stories!

Do you have a story to share? New Beginnings, our weekly blog, invites parents to share their breastfeeding and parenting experiences. Your story can encourage, educate, and inspire other families and breastfeeding supporters. By sharing both the joys and challenges of your lactation journey, you offer relatable insight that might help others celebrate their successes and overcome obstacles.

When you're ready to share, you can reach out to Kylie at [email protected]
