Breast milk going bad?

Question

I have a question about storing breast milk. last night i pumped 4 ounces into a bottle and left it out for two and a half hours then fed it to baby. she only drank 2 ounces so i put the rest of it in the fridge. it's the next morning and i was wondering if that milk would still be okay to fed her? thank you!

Answer

My understanding is if baby drank out of the bottle they have a time limit to drink it or bacteria builds up. I think it was an hour. If you separated the milk into a new bottle to feed then it should be ok.

Answer

No. Once saliva hits it, it's only good for another hour.

Answer

I'm not see because it's the one bottle. If you pumped and put it in a storage bag then into the bottle then it would be ok. To be honest I'd still give it to her. I was overly cautious at the beginning but that went out the window (within reason) after a few weeks.
