? on storing BM - Fridge to room temperature to fridge?

Once you take BM out of the fridge and it's room temperature, what do you do with the extra milk if DC does not eat it all?

Can you put it back in the fridge?

How long can I keep the milk on the counter once this is out of the fridge?

I dont put it back in the fridge... I give it an hour, if DS doesnt eat it, I dump it (which really stinks )

Once baby's drinks from a bottle, or i warmed it/brought to room temp, sadly that milk got poured down the drain that dd didn't finish.

I only used to bring milk to room temp from the fridge or freezer that I knew DD would finish. I didn't want to waste that liquid gold!

ETA: My LC told me once you defrost/bring to room temp cold BM, to use it within 2 hours. Otherwise I was told the 666 rule.
