BM has antibacterial properties so its safe to leave it out for longer than formula. </p> <p><a href="http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/reusing-expressedmilk/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/reusing-expressedmilk/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018918 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 02:45:50 +0000 Adira 2018918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: <a href="http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/milkstorage/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/milkstorage/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018879 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 23:58:57 +0000 HappyBaker 2018879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: great thank you! So glad to hear because dumping BM makes me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018868 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 23:28:33 +0000 Anagram 2018868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I EPd and refed bm all the time....even after warming it once. Up to 4-5 hours sometimes. Never had any issues! It wasn't previously frozen, just refrigerated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018857 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 23:07:58 +0000 HappyBaker 2018857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: oh great I like that number! It's so weird that no site / resource has this! Thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018837 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 22:42:52 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2018837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops. I've definitely kept it for over 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018819 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 22:21:34 +0000 Adira 2018819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: I think that is for freshly expressed milk.</p> <p>I always thought it was good for two hours after warmed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018785 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 21:43:10 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2018785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's about 8 hours at room temp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-milk-storage-how-long-out-of-fridge#post-2018691 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 20:38:03 +0000 HappyBaker 2018691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this is a dumb question but I've tried googling and can't find a good answer! </p> <p>How long can a bottle of breast milk that was stored in the fridge be left out once its warmed out / out of the fridge? I know for formula you're supposed to throw it out within an hour or two, but the rules for breast milk are usually different.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
