NER: BM storage question

papagenapapagena member

I also posted this on 0-6 mo. board, but thought I'd ask here too.

 Is it ok to save leftover breast milk from a morning bottle for later that day, or do you need to toss it?  Also, how much should I expect my 8 week old to eat in a sitting?  TIA.

    You are not technically supposed to but I know people (cought...DH...cough) who do that occasionally when it looks like he is going to waste a good bit.

    i think it's fine, but you are technically not supposed to reheat it. kellymom.com has all the guidelines for bm storage.

    ditto pp, you technically aren't supposed to do this. But we put it back in the fridge and use it later.

    i used to keep it... just put it back in the fridge and use it within 24 hours and it should be ok... they don't recommend re-using any milk after its been used during a feeding since the bacteria from the babies mouth has infected the milk and can grow some harmful stuff... but i've never had a problem and my DD has a super sensitive tummy.
