For anyone who works in a hospital setting:

What are your guidelines for storage of breastmilk - specifically=
1) where is the breastmilk stored at? 
2) If certain floors have designated fridges for breastmilk what do you do for mothers that are pumping but not located in the area's where the 'designated fridges' are located at? Is the milk then stored in a routine fridge on the floor? Or is the nurse of that patient responsible to take the milk to a designated fridge which may be on the other side of the hospital?

3) What about employees that are pumping - do they put there milk in the employee fridge, are they allowed to place their milk in the patient breastmilk fridge?
