you can store it deep freezer in human milk storage bags which are available online and can use it at a later date ... when you go for working or away from your child

I don’t think so ... you can give it with sterile precautions maintained.

You can give your milk to your elder child, but I would like you to make it sure that the new born is taking enough milk. Hope the child is not ill.Keep a watch on its weight gain.

Ther is no problem but do not give it 3 year old kid
Instead what you can do is that the extra milk can be safely storred in a steel container for 4 hrs and can be administered to the baby within 4 hrs of time if possible
Do not give this to 3 yr old kid
Next Steps
Encourage mothers milk
