With the Flu reaching epidemic proportions in some states it is really important to support breastfeeding moms. Especially brand new moms who need the support to keep going. Fresh breast milk directly from mother to baby is the best milk for baby. If mom has to be away from baby fresh expressed milk that has not been refrigerated is healthier for baby than refrigerated milk as long as the fresh milk has not been sitting out for too long see : https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/recommendations/handling_breastmilk.htm
Frozen milk is not as healthy as refrigerated but all of those milks: directly fed, fresh expressed, refrigerated and frozen are all better than formula. But keep in mind right now in particular to try to direct feed or give fresh expressed if possible. It can't always be done but try to look at your best options to protect your little one. And Mamas don't forget to take care of yourself too! Cyberhugs to all!

Nursing mothers and caretakers of breastfed infants and children can maintain the high quality of expressed breast milk and the health of the baby.

Frequently when babies reach about one year of age I will get a question from a mom asking about wanting to wean her baby because little one has turned a year old. Nursing for a year is an awesome feat! but keep in mind several things. AAP recommends nursing for *at least* one year so if you are still happily breastfeeding no need to stop :-) Also keep in mind the time of year. If your little one was born during the winter/cold and flu months you may want to continue nursing until it is no longer cold and flu season to protect them a little longer. it is always the mom and baby's choice! But just some things to consider :-) Today as I think of the impending bad weather along the east coast I pray everyone is safe and warm from the elements. Saying special prayers for our homeless that they are all able to find shelter and warmth and food.
