I have 2ounces of bm in fridge and this morning I notices some of it was caked on the bottle...I tried shaking it but it still stuck on the bottle..

 Is this bad? I'm thinking I should discard it...not sure if this is normal.

    Eh. I'd err on the side of caution and trash it.

    That's very normal.  The fat separates from the other liquid and forms a layer which will stick to the bottle.  Just shake it to mix it in or if you going to use it warm it and it will mix in quicker.

    that is the fat that has seperated.  it is still good.  just swirl the bottle - it may take a lot of swirling.  or wait until your are ready to use it, and swirl it after you heat it.

    thanks ladies...I was hoping it was normal since it takes so long for me to pump 1oz.

    The fat should be stuck on the side.

    Also, you don't "shake" breastmilk.  You should swirl it.

    When you warm it, it will "melt" into the rest of the milk. Unless it smells funny, it is still good.
