Using the pitcher method in Milk First
Quick answer: Route any pump to Add to pitcher and Milk First maintains one pitcher container whose date is always the oldest milk inside, exactly the safety rule the method requires. At night, Split the pitcher into bottles and bags, each labeled, each on the pitcher's clock.
Why the app makes the method safer
The pitcher method's one risk is losing track of when the pitcher started. The app makes that impossible: add Tuesday's pumps to a pitcher started Monday 7 AM and the whole container stays Monday 7 AM milk, with its fridge deadline computed and visible. The guesswork that scares people off the method is simply gone.
The nightly ritual
Split the pitcher into tomorrow's bottles and the freezer surplus, and the app dates every piece correctly and hands you labels. Start a fresh pitcher with tomorrow's first pump. Two minutes, zero mystery milk.
