BM left out??

StaceySnGeorgia

I put this on the breastfeeding board but this board gets frequented more.

I know that just expressed milk can be left out for about ten hours, but what are the limitations to BM that has been refrigerated. If I give DS the bottle that's been warmed and he only takes an ounce, should I

a. leave the milk out for next feed

b. put back in fridge and warm again for next feeding

c.  throw it out and mourn my wasted milk

Leave it out for the next feeding and don't reheat it. Just give at room temp.

At the bottom is says if the bottle isn't finished you can refrigerate it and use it for the next feeding.

 No need to throw it out. Hooray!

Either a or b.  I will reheat BM once before tossing.

I would tell you to do A.  But I've done B and it's been fine.
