I am a working and pumping mom, not a health professional. When I pump I leave the bottles hooked to the flanges all day sitting on my desk and attach them to my breasts when I need to pump. I do not clean the parts in between sessions and I do not refrigerate the milk or even cap it. I have not had any spoilage. I have heard one woman say that she had to refrigerate her milk immediately or it spoiled. Not me.
