This way I know it will never be a week old in the fridge- keeping track of dates of each bottle of milk isn't my strength. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-have-left-breastmilk-in-the-fridge#post-194188 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:23:25 +0000 regberadaisy 194188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read up to 8 days but...I notice my breastmilk starts to look funny after 2 days! So if I know she won't be drinking it by the next day I just throw it up in the freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-longest-you-have-left-breastmilk-in-the-fridge#post-194185 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:20:53 +0000 Mrsbells 194185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try NOT to keep any breastmilk in the fridge longer than 12 to 18 hours, but I see so many different opinions online. How long do you keep freshly pumped milk in the fridge </p>
