Can I store cooked readybrek?

Made some readybrek with breastmilk earlier for DD and accidentally made way too much. I put the extra in an airtight food pot and stuck it in the fridge, but now I'm not sure whether I can store it or not? I hate throwing away breastmilk so I'd like to keep it and use it. I made it around 8pm and will use it first thing in the morning if it's okay. Any advice?

That sounds gross and I eat anything!
I've never heard of feeding a baby ready break, but doesn't it turn into glue (not literally) and become inedible?

Why don't you eat it and make baby some fresh in the morning?

It's not at all gross I always gave ds breastmilk readybrek as a way to get more into him!

I personally wouldn't use it op purely because I'm really not sure where the cut off is given that you've already heated and cooled it.

I'd stick it in a pop sock or a tied up muslin and put it in babys bath. Oats and breastmilk are great for soothing their skin so that way it's still not going to waste.

Thank you for the helpful reply! I didn't even think about the fact that the milk was reheated then cooled again, for bottles I'd never do that. Complete brainfart moment. Definitely won't give it to her, great idea about the bath! Gonna do that, milk baths leave her skins so soft I can only imagine how nice oats and milk will be for her! Thank you again :)
