     That is ridiculous really - I have heard/read even up to 8 days in the fridge is fine.  So it's funny that they needed to do this study to show 4 was ok.  But, I will say that at the NICU they wouldn't let milk be in the fridge for 2 days.  They were crazy about rotating milk and freezing it and all.  So maybe they just needed a more definitive proof to make sure it's safe, especially for preemies who you really don't want to get sick.

  • Even in the Special Care Nursery, they only allowed milk to be refridgerated for 48 hours.

    I too have heard that it is good for up to a full week. Interesting.

  • ummm, yeah......I too thought it was common knowledge already... but up to 10 days in the fridge!

    I'll keep it in there for up to 5 before freezing at home, and when I'm traveling, the stuff I pump on Monday is in the hotel fridge until I get home on Friday night. 

     

    hmmmmmmmmmm
