Help me decide to toss BM or keep it...

Today I was out shopping with my mom and needed to pump so I did so in the car.  We were almost home so I just put the bottle back in my bag. OF COURSE when we arrived home I was so excited to see DD that I completely forgot about my milk and it sat in the car for over 2 hours...in a hot car. When I remembered I ran out and put it in the fridge. I just checked it...it definitely had a sour odor but I tasted it and it tasted fine.  I even tasted another bottle that was fresh and compared and they tasted identical...but I could definitely detect a sour odor from it. 

I am debating tossing the milk or not...I need to milk for a bottle for tomorrow...but I would rather supplement with formula than DD get sick from sour milk....wwyd?

Re: Help me decide to toss BM or keep it...

  • I'd toss. Food can taste/smell fine and still have grown some dangerous bacteria in a hot car for that long.
  • I would definitely toss it and then ugly cry over it because I hate pumping. It's not worth it though, if it smells funky I would consider it trash.
  • Loading the player...
  • I would throw it. I'd be too afraid of the effects if it is bad.

  • Another vote for toss, I know BM is like gold...but it's not worth it.
