Pumping Question?

Question

Finally had my 9 pound 5 ounce miracle! I'm exclusively pumping right now. In terms of milk, I know you can refrigerate it. Can you put it back in the fridge if she doesn't drink it all? I was going to either let it get lukewarm or try giving it to her cold. Opinions? Sorry if the wording is messed up, haven't sleep on a few days.

Answer

I put my baby's milk back in the fridge as long as it's been out less than 6 hours. Refrigerating is different than freezing. If you've frozen it, thawed it, and she hasn't eaten it, then I think that's different. I never make enough milk to freeze any for later.

Answer

After you pump it you can leave it out up to 6 hours (depending on how hot your house is) but after being refrigerated you cannot use some and put it back..

Answer

After you take it out of fridge, it can only be left out an hour and you can't put it back into fridge. If it's freshly pumped, you can leave it at room temp for 6 hours, but it's better if its used within 4 hours.

Answer

I was always told to not put it back in the fridge so the longest I leave it out is couple hours. Guess it depends on how cold it is in your house. I'm a FTM so I just play it safe lol
