Freshly expressed breastmilk can be left out in a warm room (around 79°F) for 4-6 hours. It can be left at room temperature (66-72°F) for up to 10 hours. It can be stored in the fridge for approximately a week.
See the link below for more information on storage and handling of breastmilk. Print it and put it on your fridge!
Unlike formula, breastmilk that baby didn't finish CAN be offered again provided it is offered within about 6 hours. This is because breastmilk is DIFFERENT than formula and contains antibodies which would fight off any bacteria from baby's mouth.

kept at 19-22 degrees C (66-71.6 degrees F)--10 hrs

in accordance to the concepts that got here with my breast pump, breast milk is nice at room temperature for 2 hours... and in case you're taking a bottle out of the refrigerator and use it, if the toddler doesnt drink all of the milk in it, you may toss out in spite of he doesnt use - not use it returned, for sanitary motives. I wouldnt think of it would be a sturdy thought to place milk returned in the refrigerator as quickly as its been out for a whilst, wouldnt want to take any possibilities on making the toddler ill.

Not long. Best not to feed baby non fresh milk. Bacteria can rapidly gown in it whin a few minute under optimal conditions. Heat sunlight excelerate this growth process. Bacteria can cause food poisoning plus other probs. Put away frsh supply in the fridge, put in the bin if not used up after every feed. Better safe than sorry. Cheers. 99

No more than 2 hours. And once baby starts having it, you have to dump what they do not finish.
You would be better to put it in the fridge, where it can stay for 48 hours, or the freezer, where you can have it for 3 months.
