Probably about an hour-depending on the conditions.
If its' summer and hot as hellz then less.

And I always do the smell test- I have a pretty sensitive nose so if it smells the LEAST bit on it's way out, I toss it.

Not long...a half hour tops, not even.

For the most part DS sits and finishes his milk. If he leaves a few ounces I kind of gauge it to see if he's actually drinking it or just playing around.

Most of the time he's just playing, so I take it from him.

I get very weary about milk being out of the refrigerator for long periods of time.

guess I'm in the minority... I let it go up to 2 hours and then I don't even toss it, I put it back in the frige. DD isn't a big milk fan so she sips it sooo slowly.

I follow the same rules I followed with BM and toss within an hour of her drinking it. BUT DD chugs milk, so there's hardly anything left over.
