Hi All,
I tried to search the archives, but must be not using the right search words
or something, so I will ask my question:

I remember a discussion on re-using a bottle of EBM when the baby has not
finished the full amount.  Is this an OK thing to do?  I brought this up
recently at a clinic day and almost everyone there said that it was not OK
and could possibly harm the baby (bacteria build-up form saliva backwash,
etc.).  I just don't buy it myself.  My personal opinion is that if the milk
is used at the next feeding, it should be fine, given the amount of good
bacteria in the breastmilk.
What do you all say about this?
