Diane,
I've never quite understood this.  At milk banks they thaw milk, pasteurize it and refreeze it.  Does the fact that it was pasteurized make it okay to refreeze?  I can tell you I wouldn't dump it if it were my milk and my baby.  If I paid for it from a milk bank I wouldn't dump it either.  It is obviously very cold still, it's going to be used sooner rather than later.  Maybe I'm missing something and put all of my children in harms way -- I guessing not.

My thoughts,
