Frozen BM ?

I just thawed out some BM that I pumped in the middle of October and LO wanted nothing to do with it so I put it in the fridge to try at the next feeding. Well I went to get it out of the fridge and it looked like it was curdled. Like around the top of the milk stuck to the bottle. I just tossed it I didn't want to risk giving DD spoiled milk. But now I am worried that all my BM is bad. I also just used some BM to mix in some food I just made. Could that be the reason she didn't want the milk? I don't have a huge stash, maybe 5 bags, but should I just throw it out? DD will take formula no problem so I don't really need it. I had it more as a just in case.

    BM separates like that in the fridge - the fat in the milk rises to the top.  Just shake it up and it will redistribute.  :)

    Does it smell bad? I thought milk that was bad had a bad smell. I wouldn't throw the other milk out until you see if she'll take it. Same with the food.

    This.  As soon as you warm it up it wont stick to the sides anymore.

    It's just the fatty part of the milk. Do not shake it though, swirl it instead. Shaking damages the bm properties.
    I didn't know that...thanks Crash!
