Pumped milk storage...

I'm wondering about combining pumped milk...

Like, if I pump in the morning and put it in the fridge could I add the pumped milk from the evening to that already refrigerated milk? 

If so, could I then freeze the combined milk for bottles later?

    Some people do it that way.  I only combine milk that is at the same temperature- so if half of it was already refrigerated, I would cool the second half before combining & freezing.

    I always combine my milk! I make sure it's about the same temp and dump it all into a freezer bag and freeze it! I probably wouldn't add warm milk to cold milk unless it's a tiny amount though. If you feel funny about it, I would just do the sniff-test before feeding your LO :)

    I combine milk, however, I never combine cold milk with freshly pumped (room temp) milk. If I do want to combine them, I pop the room temp one in the fridge, wait for it to get cold, and then combine them (since they are both the same temp). Then I freeze them.
