How long breast milk keeps

Keep this number current with Telle
Telle is a shared baby tracker built by a NICU dad. When you log a pump, the fridge and freezer totals update for everyone in your household, and a bottle at daycare comes out of the stash automatically.
- Fridge and freezer totals, expiry dates and days of milk left
- A stash goal with progress you and your partner both see
- Feeds, sleep, diapers and growth in one shared log for up to five people
- One price. No ads, no tracking, and your baby's record is never sold
This planner only does arithmetic on the numbers you enter, in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. It is not medical advice. Ask your pediatrician or a lactation consultant how much milk your baby needs.
