Pretty much everything I've read (including the BF'ing class at the hospital) says that refrigerated breastmilk is good for 3-8 days (but ideally closer to 3) and that room temperature is fine for 4-6 hours.

But for some reason my ped recommends 1 day in the fridge, 1 hour at room temperature, and 1 month in the freezer. This has me a little paranoid about using it after a few days. I have a few in the fridge that are 2-3 days old and hate to throw them away.

How long do you all use milk from the fridge?
