I had some milk go bad once and you could definitely tell. If it looks and smells fine I wouldn't worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this#post-2090207 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 13:46:58 +0000 catomd00 2090207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don work fridys and I have never frozen Thursday's milk over the weekend.

The milk was in my work fridge all day then in a cooler bag with ice pack for maybe 15 minutes to get home. It's been sitting in a separate fridge draw kept at 33F that hasn't been opened since Thursday night. It's 13oz of breastmilk and I sniffed one bottle and there is no odor at all.<br /> Tomorrow would make 4 days. Would you give it to your 6m old?</p> <p>I have maybe 30oz in the freezer.</p> <p>She just got over a stomach bug about a week or two ago and had diarrhea this morning. Unrelated to the bug. </p>
