So I’m reading all these rules on how many hours breastmilk can be stored in room temp, fridge, freezer etc and it can get quite confusing.

The source i have says store at room temp for 4hours and fridge for up to 4 days. But when warmed, then within 1-2h.

What if I pump and put it in the fridge because I might need it later on that day. And then I take it out and put it in diaper bag a few hours later. Do I now have to use it within 1-2h since it’s warming to room temp? Or I now have the 4h window at room temp?

I want to know if I know I’ll be using it later should I just keep it out so that I have a full 4h? But one would think that keeping it in fridge is better until I need to go out.

So confused
