You can store breastmilk in the fridge for 24 hours.
Freezer for 3 weeks I think.
Any leftover milk from a feed should be used within 1 hour and then thrown out.
best of luck

Breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours after pumping. If it is going to be any longer than that, you should freeze it. Once the milk is thawed, it should not be refrozen.
I know it is hard to think about throwing away this liquid gold, but if your baby drinks out of the bottle, throw the remainder of the milk away after an hour. Enzymes will have gotten into the bottle, and will begin the process of breaking down the milk. Putting it back in the refrigerator will not stop this process.

You can keep it in the fridge for 3 days, a regular freezer for 6 months, and a deep freeze for up to 12 months. Once you take it out of the fridge and warm it, it cannot go back into the fridge. Once you warm it, it needs to be consumed or dumped out in one hour. GOOD LUCK!! And congrats on nursing!!

No. Once breast milk has been warmed it should be discarded within 30 minutes, otherwise will start growing bugs in it.
When breast milk is first expressed & not warmed up, it can be safely kept in the fridge for 48 hrs (not on the door, inside the fridge) and then either discarded or frozen.

if you give your baby same breastmilk iit is safer to throw it out if they do not drink it all because are are not suppose to reheat the milk and it is best to discard after about 30 mins
