When can I freeze milk

Question

I have pumped 4oz milk and kept it at room temperature at 7 am. At 9:30 am my son drank 2 oz milk and slept. It has been 11:30am and he did not wake up. Can I freeze that other 2 oz milk at 11:30 am ( it has been 4 hrs from the time I pumped. I know we can go till 6 hrs if needed, but in the meanwhile I pumped again and I want to freeze the previous milk

Answer

If he drank from it already, you have to toss what's leftover. He can't drink from that bottle again even several hours later. The baby's saliva causes bacteria to grow and will make him sick if he drinks from it again.

Answer

I’m pretty sure I read that you have to get rid of any milk if baby has drank some of it. I could be wrong though as I exclusively breastfeed x

Answer

No baby did not drink it from the same bottle. I took 2oz separately from the original bottle where I pumped. So Can I freeze the remaining milk ?
