Storing pumped breast milk...oops

jessicab711 · March 2015

So I just started pumping less than a week ago. Still exclusively BFing. Daddy wants to take over some of the feelings for our 4 week old. I am an idiot though. I have been putting all of the pumped breast milk on the door of the refrigerator. Now I read that is NOT where its recommended to be stored in the fridge. It's less than a week old...what should I do? Don't want to throw out all that liquid gold. Any one else accidentally do this??

BM is only good for a few days in the fridge(sources differ 2-5 days) unless you meant freezer. Make sure to date each container. It sucks to waste but wouldn't want to risk it.
