Breast milk storage

FTM, want to ask if anyone encounter freezing the breast milk in the freezer but it does not freeze after 1 day even though the temperature stated is -19 degree Celsius. It is cold and the breast milk is like liquid format changing to semi solid in a way. Quantity is about 100-150 ml per package. Is it still safe for baby c consumption ?

Bm can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days, so your 1 day old milk will still be safe for consumption. To be safe, you can do a smell and taste test first (taste test is more accurate as the lipase in your bm do affect the smell after milk is fridged/freezed) . If it taste sour, best to discard or you can use as milk bath. For storage, try to lay it flat without stacking or anything near it.
