How long can I keep EBM in me fridge?

[allyco]

cos am about to go back to work, eek.

Am sure I read somewhere it will keep in coldest part of fridge for seven days, or am I wrong?

Am stockpiling in freezer right now, but not sure I'd fancy defrosted milk so don't know how DS will react.......

TIA

see the kellymom web site loads of helpful info. i thought that it was only 6 days. ( i would do you a link but i don't know how to )

yay! Thank you. I thought I read it on Kellymom thingy.

Am off to investigate. Thanks again!

My lansinoh sterilized bags said 3 days and 24 hours if it's been frozen and defrosted. Dunno what other companies say. hth.

heres link to website kellymom .

Ive been wondering the same , threw precious 2oz away last night as I had no clue when I expressed it . Thought it was only 24hrs as said on Isis Avent instructions ???????????

The lansinoh bags are good in that respect as in you can label them so you know when it got expressed.

Always better to express everyday, the milk you do not use for the day straight into the freezer for up to 3 months. I never kept my ebm for more than 24hrs in the fridge. You need to take in considerations the amount of traffic in your fridge, i.e. how many times a day does it get opened etc. I think you are still safe up to 48 hrs, but really it is just easier to freeze it straightaway.

ahhhhh , can I pump into an avent bottle and then transfer? to then transfer back into a bottle. hang on that seems a faff ! wish avent had a labelling thing of some sort.

LLL and kellymom say its fine in the back of the fridge for 8 days
At room temp for 12 hours
Freezer 12 months

Avent are much more conservative so I ignored them!
