Is it okay to combine milk pumped at different times/days together and feed to baby?

Question

I'm not able to produce enough on my left breast and switch pumping sides because when I nurse her it's usually one side at a time.
I've been combining milk sometimes at bottle feeds

Answer

As long as they are the same temperature and both still in a good time frame for freshness, then yes.

Answer

Yes but it has to be the same temp and go with the date of the first pumped. So if you have half a bottle in the fridge and pump more, put it in the fridge separately until it is cold then you can combine them, but it will only be as fresh as the oldest milk in the bottle

Answer

Yes it is okay. Just like the other comments make sure it’s the same temperature when mixing and label them so you know how old each one is before you mix. I use a dry erase marker on the bottles! Also, keep in mind that evening milk has higher levels of melatonin so don’t be surprised if your baby gets a little sleepy if you’re feeding that milk in the morning.
