Bottle Milk Question...

britrundell · May 2014

So FTM here and I've been breastfeeding and now trying to get LO used to the bottle for nights grandma comes and visits.
My question is: when I warm a bottle sometimes little girl falls asleep before I can give it to her lol. How long does the milk stay good for after it's been warmed? And can I re-heat it?

We only used it within the hour and never reheated. Same for formula.

My DH did all the nonboob feeding but breastmilk returned to the fridge after heat should be good at least 6 hours, which is what DH did. If after you heat it a second time and don't finish it that's when I say it's a no go. Kelly mom says USED milk can be reused as long as 2hrs, but you have feed it so should be good longer. I wouldn't be to worried about bacteria and such in the milk as studies how old brestmilk actually has less than fresh:

I think it's okay until the next feeding. Do a smell test just to be sure.
