how long to store milk after pumping?

Question

Say I'm out n about and I use my manual pump. How would I store till I got home to put in freezer/fridge? How long would I have to do that? I will try to be on time with it so I could avoid this but I was just wondering just in case!

Answer

5 hours at room temp. or you can take a cooler bag with ice packs whenever you go out.

Answer

I'd try to take a little insulated lunchbox or cooler with ice packs and put it in there right away - that way it's good for up to 24 hours (according to CDC).

Answer

Have been advised by midwife, nurses and doctors that up to four hours at room at room temp is fine.

Answer

you should store the milk in a fridge, freezer or ice packed cooler immediately
keeping at room temp for hours before storing properly isn't recommended
