Mixing refrigerated milk from 2 different days

lolob45

Can I mix refrigerated milk that I pumped today and refrigerated milk from a few days ago in a bottle or combine for a freezer bag?

Updated: Hubby mixed them in the middle of the night without my knowledge and DD is okay today ... thanks!

I have done it. I think as long as its less than 3 days in the fridge its not a big deal

Definitely.. Just go by the date of the earliest pump when considering refrigerator storage times.

Yes, I do it all the time. Just make sure it's all chilled. Also, consider freezing in 2 or 3 oz portions, since once you pull from the freezer, you should use within 24 hours of thaw.

So rules of freezer milk:
once thawed use in 24 hours.
Refrigerator milk:
Use with in three days if pumped then stored in frige.
Okay to mix with frozen milk as long as all is chilled.
New mom here thanks !!!

My LC says you can use refrigerated milk within more like 6 days, just keep it toward the back of the fridge and not on a door shelf.
