Ditto Norma.  I usually tell my moms that as long as the milk was just
brought to room temperature that it is probably safe to keep it closed on the
counter for the next feed.  I am not sure about re-refrigerating it, and
serving again?  What are the references for this....   Debbie Albert

 the fridge, then warm it up and feed it to the baby any time in the next
 two
 days. If the baby is receiving formula in mom's absence, this is not
 possible, since the left-overs have to be discarded within an hour
 because
 of bacterial contamination.

 Pamela - this is a question I get all the time  - can you re-use a partly
 used bottle of EBM ? Please share your references for this.
