Hey all.
Yesterday I started expressing and kept the milk in the fridge overnight.
Have warmed it up however my baby only drank half. What should I do with the rest ? Put it back in the fridge? Keep it out and offer it later? Or do I have to get rid of it ? Tia x

Once you’ve warmed it and baby has started drinking it then it needs to used within an hour.

Once your baby has drank some out of the bottle, you either have to use it within 2 hours or bin it I'm afraid.
(Or what i do instead of dumping it, is store it in a separate bottle marked 'waste milk' and add it to their bath)

Thank you. Good to know for next time. Felt like a waste of milk until My toddler decided to have the rest of it 😂 (Didn't have the heart to tell her where it came from) x
