Can I freeze breastmilk that's been heated?

Daycare heated a bottle of breastmilk right before I walked in to pick her up. She didn't touch it. Can I stick it in the freezer for later use?

It was freshly expressed on Monday, never previously frozen.

She won't be going back to daycare until Friday. I don't feel comfortable just leaving it in the fridge until then, but I was thinking that freezing it straight away would stop any bacteria growth?

Once breastmilk has been heated you have like an hour or two to use it or you gotta toss it, as sad as that is. Sorry!

Can you give it to her tonight and pump so you don't lose it? I wouldn't use it after a couple of hours as PP said.

Thanks ladies! I already gave her a bottle this morning, and I'm worried that she'd be up all night wanting to comfort nurse if she had another bottle tonight (and essentially not nursing at all today). I just dumped it. Oh well.
