Breast milk question

I pump and freeze breast milk every day (on top of nursing, since I produce a TON of milk), and we use that stored milk when I'm away from my daughter. My question is this- after the frozen breast milk is thawed and warmed, how long is it good for? Say my daughter drinks some, doesn't finish the milk, then wants more half an hour to an hour later. Is that leftover milk still good, or should it be tossed?

Whatever isnt used should be tossed, thats what my LC always told me...

from what i can remember 7 hours, and 24 hrs if you put it in the fridge. that's just an estimate from what i remember.

i bend the rules, i would use it for a few hours if i put it back in the fridge, but some people will disgree with me . and say it should neever be reheated

after its been warmed and thawed its really only good for like an hour or 2

Breastmilk can sit out longer than formula because of its bacteria-fighting properties. i think it is an hour after it has been thawed, but I don't remember exactly. Formula is supposed to be thrown out because the bacteria builds up in it so fast, but I felt ok with keeping breastmilk out for an hour or so & letting mine finish up as he wanted. Mine rarely took a bottle though, so I'm no expert.

Here is a great chart for the fridge!

It can be offered at the next feeding before it needs to be discarded. Here is a great reference.

Awesome. Thanks so much  

i do belive i read 4 hours.. then it should be tossed if not used within 4 hours of being heated

How long can thawed milk be safely used?
If milk has been frozen and thawed it can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours for later use. It should not be refrozen. There is very little evidence to know if stored, warmed, and partially consumed milk can continue to be used. One study suggests that it is safe to continue to feed previously used milk up to 1 to 2 hours after it has been prepared. Any unused milk should then be discarded.
