There is  no reason why mom's milk cannot be stored in the patient  food
refrigerator.



I believe OSHA and/or Joint Commission require mom's milk to be stored  in a 
separate refrigerator. We have 1 on peds & 1 in NICU designated "for  breast 
milk only." There are some very stringent requirements about what and how  
things can be stored in the patients' refrigerator.
 
I do agree about NOT putting mom's milk in a hazardous waste bag. We  use 
zip-closure bags to store the bottles of milk in. Each bottle is labeled  with 
name, date & time.
