I've even given milk that smelled off (but tasted fine and she didn't seem bothered by it) and there were no adverse effects whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846964 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:13:59 +0000 prettylizy 846964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SAVE!!! Sniff and save my friend, don't dump unless you have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846938 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:07:03 +0000 anbanan15 846938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it smells/looks/tastes fine I would save it. Mix it in with some newer milk when you use it. I rarely tossed milk (if ever)....you worked hard for that liquid gold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846934 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:06:23 +0000 T.H.O.U. 846934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done the same thing, left if it in my purse, but I have forgotten it all night! She was healthy (not an infant or premie or anything) and it looked/smelled ok so she took it to school with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846927 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:04:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 846927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with pps . . . save it if you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846924 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:03:13 +0000 rrachael 846924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would save it as long as it doesn't smell spoiled ... I've heard multiple times from lactation nurses that bm will smell distinctively sour when it's gone bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846920 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:00:55 +0000 MamaMoose 846920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mrsjyw:. I never throw out milk that smells and looks OK (unless it's been something crazy like all day long). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846917 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:00:34 +0000 Adira 846917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mrsjyw. I'd save it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846909 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:58:10 +0000 mrsjyw 846909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd save it. If it smells okay then it's fine in my book esp under the conditions you mentioned above :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-or-dump#post-846906 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:57:12 +0000 78h2o 846906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left two bottle of milk out for about 8.5 hours.<br /> -One was pumped at noon and refrigerated until 4pm (4oz).<br /> -The other was pumped at 4pm, never refrigerated (5oz).<br /> I forgot my cooler bag but put both bottles in a plastic bag bundled together with a cold bottle of water.<br /> -They traveled in my air conditioned car and then sat in my house (68 degrees) until 12:30am when my memory kicked in. I put them in the fridge at that point.<br /> -Not sure if I should toss one or both? I've read different things ranging from 4-10 hrs being okay.<br /> -I don't have a freezer stash, so what gets tossed will be replaced with formula, which she did get once for the first time the other day (daycare messed up).</p> <p>What would you do? </p>
