Our hospital policy uses the guidelines from the HMBANA publication (Best 
Practice for Expressing, Storing, and Handling Human Milk, 2nd edition, 2006)
for storage of expressed milk ( 4-6 hours at room temp; refrigerated for up to 
8 days, up to 12 months in a freezer)  A coworker has attended a recent 
conference where they stated the guidelines for storage as 4 hours at room 
temp, 72 hours in the refrigerator and 3 months in a freezer. 

Has HMBANA changed their guidelines?

Thank you.
Debbie
