Can I reuse breast milk if not finish during First feeding?

Question

I’ve breast feed before but I never pumped and stored like I did with this baby. I thawed a 2 oz bag and he drank 1 oz and there’s another 1oz left. Can I save it for next feed? How long does it last out for if I can? Do I put it back in the fridge? Or do I just toss it. Thank you ladies.

Answer

Thawed milk is good for about 24 hours. If baby has eaten from the bottle, that milk is not reusable. Once it touches baby’s mouth, it is good for about an hour. Hope this is helpful.

Answer

If you put the two ounces in a bottle then no. You’re not supposed to reuse anything that the baby drank out of because it can contain bacteria from their mouth (or something like that). 
If you split it up and left one ounce in the fridge, then it’s good in the fridge for a week.

Answer

If it’s been frozen and defrosted once, I would throw it out. Think if it was something you were eating - it’s not good to heat up, cool down, heat up, etc food.

I'd say it's fine. my baby drinks from bottle and doesn't finish so I put it in the fridge and heat when ready.
