So I came across this blog post that featured a new study (2011) that showed unpasteurized breastmilk perfectly safe after being thawed and re-frozen!
That's so awesome, and I'm sure welcomed for us moms that have hated having to toss milk because of power outages or childcare providers not needing the thawed milk!
Here's the link to the study!

I would never do this. At work, we use thawed milk within 24 hours, otherwise it gets tossed. I would never do this for my food, so why would I do it for baby? Depends on your comfort level I guess. I'm not comfortable with it.

I would not do it because I never had the need to.
However, I do have to say I would consider it for an older healthy baby if a bunch got unfrozen.
I have also heard that as long as there are still ice chunks (slushy) then its still considered "frozen" and can be froze solid again.

Id use it to mix in with their solids when they get older, though Id make sure it passed the smell/taste test before giving it to LO
