Unused milk
If I take bm from the fridge (not frozen or thawed) and warm up for baby to drink, but the baby doesn’t finish the milk, can I put back the unused milk in the fridge for the next feed? Or must strictly discard?
I wouldn’t recommend putting it back. Higher risk of bacterial growth. I would cap the bottle and leave it at room temperature for an hour. If baby feeds again within that time, then I will use that bottle. I also roughly know how much baby drinks, so I divide my bm into suitable volume portions to minimise wastage:)
Read moreUsually if within an hour I will put back into the fridge and top up for next feed. Some say can some say cannot. So I guess it is up to u to decide. But I will only reheat the bm once. If second time baby still cannot finish den I will discard..
I did put it back in the fridge and warm it up for the next feed. I would offer baby and finish that up first and then continue with another bottle.
I wouldn't recommend putting it back into the fridge as there's bacteria in saliva which gets transferred to the unfinished milk.
If baby don’t finish then I’ll pour away alr. If not I scared will have bacteria growth
I won’t. You may use it for milk bathe. Otherwise, just throw it
Yea ok to keep and rewarm once for the next feed - I've done that
I wont. Usually will let her drink within 2 hours.
Had done that coz didnt have much BM supply
Discard after 1hour
