According to the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM), you can store milk:

• At room temperature - not warmer than 77 degrees F/25 degrees C - for up to four hours

Other Storing options include...

• In a coldbox with refreezable ice packs for up to 24 hours
• In the fridge with a temp. of 39 degrees F/4 degrees C or colder for three to five days
• In an older model single-door refrigerator with freezer compartment inside for two weeks.
• You can store milk in a freezer for various lengths of time depending on the kind you have. (NOTE: FROZEN B-MILK LOSES ANTIBODIES) Always keep the milk in the back of the freezer away from the door, because items stored towards the front are more susceptible to changing temperatures when you open the freezer.
• In a fridge freezer with a separate door for each, for three months
• In a freezer with a temperature of -20°C, that doesn't have a defrost cycle, for six to 12 months.

If the baby has had any of the milk from the bottle then the rule is only one hour as bacteria begins to develop. If you expressed the milk and the baby hasn't had any from that particular bottle then 4-6 hrs is safe. Otherwise, refridgerate for later use.

Generally speaking leaving freshly expressed breast milk out at room temperature is considered 'good' for 4 hours...its formula thats only 1 hour....after that its good in the fridge for 5 days or so...never reheat in the microwave!

If you pump breastmilk and do not refrigerate it you can safely leave it out, room temp, for 6 hours.

I have read that up to 4 hours at room temperature is fine to giv the baby. If it is above room temperature then I would say no.
