Michelle Kinne has offered the J Barger reference. On a related and also
very commonly asked question, re-using breastmilk that has already been
offered once, there is a small amount of data from Rachel Brusseau,
"Bacterial Analysis of Refrigerated Human Milk Following Infant
Feeding", which is cited at kellymom:

Brusseau's full study seems to have disappeared from the web, but I have
a copy if anyone wishes one.

I really wish there was more recent, large-scale published data on these
frequently asked questions.
