🧊 How to Store Your Lactation Bites
Fridge:Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days. They’ll stay soft, chewy, and perfect for quick breastfeeding snacks. Freezer:
Lactation bites freeze incredibly well. Freeze in a single layer first, then transfer to a container or freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months without losing taste or texture. Freezer Snack Hack:
If you prefer them extra cold and firm (amazing for hot flashes or nighttime feeds!), you can eat them straight from the freezer — they soften slightly within a minute or two. On-the-Go:
Pop a few into a small snack pot. They’ll stay fresh for several hours and are perfect for nappy bags, car journeys, or breastfeeding on the move.
