I know the general guidelines for storing milk, but wanted to see if anyone had experience or insight to this situation. On my weekends to work, I'm at work for 12 hours and have a half hour drive home. I store my pumped milk in a dorm style refrigerator then transfer to the cooler portion of my pump bag with ice packs for the drive home. Can I still keep it in the refrigerator the 3-8 days? Or should I use/freeze it sooner?
Eta the reason I'm asking is I don't have a traditional Monday through Friday schedule. I work 4 days every week, but on a 3-week rotating schedule. So like this week I worked Sunday, then I'm off til Wednesday. So I'm trying to decide when to give fresh vs frozen.
