Question about bottle baby Milk

Oldntimes · #1 06/14/07, 04:55 PM

Ok I have a kid going to his new home when he is 6 weeks old. I want to send Milk with him so nothing upsets his system, and his new owner can still give him a botle couple times a day with his feed.
How do I go about this.
Can I store raw milk in the freezer and sent it frozen. He will be going in about 4 weeks. Then would the new owner just refrig. to thaw, warm up and feed. I don't need to pasturize or anything do I ?
Thanks

Yep, that is how it's done-no need for pasteurizing or anything. We gallon freezer bags. We don't even warm it up-they drink it fine cold.

If you have been feeding raw milk, it doesn't have to be pasteurized to freeze it. I raise my botttle kids on prevention, so all their milk is pasteurized and I freeze pasteurized milk to save for kids.
