Is my breast milk safe?

Question

So I'm out and about my daughter is breast fed. I took 12oz of breast milk with us...well my daughter gets hungry as I'm pouring a bottle for her I ask my 5 yr son to hold the cap to the storage bottle.   When my son hands it back he licks the cap.  Is the breast milk now contaminated?

Answer

If he’s recently sick or has any signs of being sick I wouldn’t risk it, but otherwise I’d consider it fine

Answer

Did you clean the cap off before putting it back on? I think its fineif you did

Answer

Yes. If what he licked will touch the milk it'll be bad after an hour similar to how a bottle goes bad after an hour after your babys mouth touches it.
