Can I keep it in fridge for another go tomorrow? It's in a medela bottle that was sterilised and expressed straight into. And the teat is a medela calma and literally not a drop was sucked out. It was in fridge from this morning and I warmed it before trying her this evening.I know formula can only be kept for 2 hours but is it different with ebm?
Can't bear the thought of pouring it away and have a different bottle and teat to try.

Have a look on kellymom.com. I have a feeling that milk that's been warned, whether human or cows milk, shouldn't be kept for much longer, but I'm really not sure. Certainly I got much more lax about this kind of thing as my baby got older!!

No I would chuck it. You've warmed it up.

Also sometimes bm when expressed can get a funny soapy taste - best rule that out.

Ah you're right... kellymom says keep for 1-2 hours. Might get my dh to try with her once more before it has to be poured away (sob)
