Has milk gone bad?

Uniqjae

Today was my first time at the office pumping and noticed a difference in the milk when I got home. I forgot my ice pack to put in bag but the nursing room thankfully had a fridge. The problem is that i have over an hour commute plus the time it took me to pick up baby at daycare maybe two hours with milk in bag with no ice pack.

What do you guys think? Is this bad milk to give little one? The one in the middle?

You can leave breast milk at room temp easily for 4 hours with no issues, as long as it wasn't too warm I'd think you should be ok. I'd use it if it were me!

Smell it! You'll know if it's gone sour.

I'd use it. I pump multiple bottles at a time and will always leave one out unrefrigerated for the next time LO eats, sometimes a few hours. It should be good for 6-8 hrs at room temp below 76 degrees. And if I'm not sure, I'll smell or and/or taste it.
