Hi all,
   I had a question from one of my mom's which I also have wondered about 
myself. It seems so simple and yet I can't find any research on it. I 
searched the LN archives and the only discussions I could find were old 
and with conflicting opinions. The question is: How long can breast milk 
be kept in the refrigerator before it is frozen? (Assuming a healthy term 
infant) I do understand that bacterial counts in human milk have been seen 
to drop in some samples, but am not totally reassured that the "use or 
freeze by" date should be 5-7 days. Has anyone seen any research on this? 
Thanks
Kathy Lilleskov RN IBCLC
