No problems yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ok-with-leaving-pumped-milk-out#post-1199181 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:32:20 +0000 Adira 1199181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always put it in the fridge, but that's because I rarely am going to give it to Xander anytime soon - usually I pump for the next day or to be frozen!</p> <p>But if I knew it was going to be used within the timeframe, I'd leave it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ok-with-leaving-pumped-milk-out#post-1199179 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:31:45 +0000 prettylizy 1199179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd leave it out if I knew I was going to be adding more to that pump to make a full bag for the freezer later that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ok-with-leaving-pumped-milk-out#post-1199173 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:30:05 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1199173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I always threw it in the fridge.... I usually had older milk already waiting in the fridge that I wanted to use up first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ok-with-leaving-pumped-milk-out#post-1199166 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:28:47 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1199166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I leave it out if he is going to drink it in that time frame. Usually I put it in the fridge until about an hour before bottle time, unless we are going out (then I pull it out right when we leave). If it has been left out for a few hours and doesn't get used, I have no problem putting it back in the fridge either. you can tell when it is bad....if it hasn't separated and smells/tastes fine I go with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ok-with-leaving-pumped-milk-out#post-1199162 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:26:46 +0000 autumnlove 1199162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: ok, it is a pain to warm it later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ok-with-leaving-pumped-milk-out#post-1199161 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:26:17 +0000 chopsuey 1199161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I used to leave some out if I knew the kids would drink within 4-6 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ok-with-leaving-pumped-milk-out#post-1199130 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 10:14:28 +0000 autumnlove 1199130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think room temp is ok for 6-8 hours but I usually put it in the fridge ASAP. </p>
