I am a hospital based IBCLC and have been asked if a nurse returning to work
can store her breastmilk in the staff refrigerator on the unit. Of course I see
absolutley no problem with this, but I would like some resources. Does anyone
know the DHEC regulation on this. I seem to remeber that the CDC did not
treat breastmilk as a biohazard item, but I am having trouble getting my hands
on that info. Is this OK? If not, why. I have never really been asked this
before. Either people are usually doing it without asking or keep cooler packs in
their lockers? Thanks for your help.
