Answer 2

According to lansinoh ( a popular breast feeding company) at room temp (66-72F) 10 hours, In the fridge (32-39F) 8 days, Inside a freezer compartment in fridge (temp varies) 2 weeks, Freezer with separate door (temp varies) 3-4 months and in a deep freeze (0F) 6 months or longer.

You will find different time frames in different places but I trust this company.

Answer 3

At room temp I would not let it sit out longer than 3 hours. I am a NICU nurse and we often have to feed babies with a continuos drip where we let the milk run over 3 hours. As for the fridge 24 hours.

Answer 4

I was told when I was breastfeeding not to leave breastmilk out longer than four hours. I believe in the fridge it can last for a 5 to 7 days. And if you freeze it (deep freeze) 6 to 12 months.

Answer 5

breast milk can last up to four hours after being pumped at room temp, and last up to a month in the fridge. As long as the baby hasn't got any saliva in it then it only lasts about in hour.

Answer 6

Human milk can be stored

at room temperature (66-72°F, 19-22°C) for up to 10 hours
in a refrigerator (32-39°F, 0-4°C) for up to 8 days
in a freezer compartment inside a refrigerator (variable temperature due to the door opening frequently) for up to 2 weeks
in a freezer compartment with a separate door (variable temperature due to the door opening frequently) for up to 3 to 4 months.
in a separate deep freeze (0°F, -19°C) for up to 6 months or longer.

Answer 7

Room temperature is actually 4hrs. 48hrs in the refrigerator if not previously frozen. 24hrs if it has been frozen and then defrosted and 6 month in the freezer. Breastmilk is awesome! LOL
