breast milk was warmed, then refrigerated again, then given to baby -- should we be concerned?

Here's my tip -- if your baby will take cold milk, don't bother warming it! Then you don't have to get into these issues.

I thought it's fine if you use the unused portion within the next 24 hours after it's been put back in the fridge.

We give a bottle of BM to DD every night before bed and I aint wasting NOTHIN' so I even save less than an ounce if I have it and use it to mix in her rice cereal the next day. DD is 5 months and no issues. But I hope I'm not being totally reckless. I really thought this was fine and within the guidelines.


It IS fine and within guidelines. I take milk out of the freezer and use within 24 hours. I even reheat it once if the bottle isn't finished...you're fine.
