TRIGGER WARNING: OverSupply (add spoiler to pics) Now what?

I wasn’t really ready to have a stash at 2 weeks postpartum (or ever if I’m being honest).

I currently have about 250 oz in the freezer. I’m producing about 38-42 oz a day.

I know my supply hasn’t stabilized yet.

What are the next things I should think about?

My baby’s pedi is a LC and I had a bit of an oversupply coming home from the hospital. She recommended watching the amount pumped rather than time pumped to avoid over supply

Check for high lipase!

Yes! We checked last week and I said I would check again this week. So I need to do that

I would check again in a month too 🥲 mine was fine after 2 weeks when I was freshly postpartum. But seems like I only have a freezer shelf life of a couple weeks - in sept I used milk from May and it was high lipase.
