Pam,
I have never heard that it could be returned to the fridge. We always throw
out anything left in a bottle. Is it really safe to save the half-finished
EBM for 2 days? Even if it could be safely saved for the next feeding, it
would be a plus. Is this different for full term, well babies as opposed to
preemie or sick babies. Of course, here in the states we have to abide by
OSHA regulations in hospital.
