BF Moms Important Question

I pumped yesterday while out with DH and didnt have my cooler. I had the milk in the car for 6 hours then i put it in the refrigerator when I got home. Is it safe to use it or should i dump it? It was 5 ounces.

I would dump it if it was out that long.

it's so hard to say...i always struggle with this especially since i hate pumping and it takes me a while to get even 4 oz some times! i do think though that w/o the cooler you might want to dump it...if you'd had the cooler i would say keep it. see what the others suggest though...

Re: BF Moms Important Question

it's such a tough one. it's so hard to dump any milk, when it's not easy to come by. i remembering crying when i had to dump milk that had gone bad.

i'm leaning towards dumping it, because not only was it not refrigerated, is sounds like it was in a hot car for 6 hours. it's one thing if it's out at room temperature in the house, but the car gets extremely hot.

sorry. Chat Icon

Re: BF Moms Important Question

We joke in our house that breastmilk is like gold... I HATE when we have to throw it out...

But, I would definately throw it out..... 4 hours should be the max you leave it out.....
