Is this safe?

I posted this on the breastfeeding board too. 

Why does nobody get how precious breast milk is ?!? My supply is slowing so every ounce is like gold. Today my aunt took DS out and took some food and a couple bottles with her. When she came home I thought she had given him all the bottles but there was one left in his food bag. She didn't even tell me, just dropped everything in the nursery for me to find later. My question is this, the milk was cool-ish but definitely not cold can I re-refrigerate or freeze it? I could give it to him and pump but when I pump I get 2 ounces if I'm lucky so I really don't want to use up a bottle if I am home and can feed him myself...What would you do

PS- I think it was probably out of the refrigerator for 1.5 hours or so...

    I usually don't trust anything that has been out for over an hour.

    I usually smell it. I'm very lenient with bm being left out and when it's used, aside from if it's been warmed using a bottle warmer or hot water etc. I'd probably throw it back in the fridge and try it again later unless it smelled wonky.

    I would try to use it later. Last me PP said if it smelled funny I would toss it but I would at least give it a chance, especially since it was still cool to the touch.

    This. I would put it back in the fridge and use it within 24-36 hours.

    It's good at room temperature for a long time. My son used to get continuous feeds overnight through his gtube and they told me to just hang 8 hours worth of milk. It was always fine. I think it starts losing some nutrients but he shouldn't get sick or anything.
