This all depends very much on whether the fridge was ever opened, where
it's located in her house (main floor or chilly basement?), how cold she
keeps it, etc.  If she has no idea how warm it may have gotten, if she were
my client I would suggest she give it to someone else to drink, but not the
baby in the NICU.

Any mom who is storing milk who would be worried if the power went out,
ought to have a thermometer in her fridge and freezer.  Another good trick
is to put several fresh ice cubes into a ziploc bag inside the freezer.
 Any time she opens the freezer, she will see them intact and separate and
know the freezer is fine.  If they are ever fused together into a lump,
it's an indicator that something happened to let the freezer warm up enough
that they melted a bit and stuck together.
