Christine,
Try looking at the human milk storage protocol #8 from ABM. It is at www.bfmed.org. It may be helpful for you.

We have agreed on 4 hours. Then the question was asked--can we then refrigerate the milk after 4 hours or do we discard it. I just assumed it could then go in the fridge for the recommended 3-8 days (depending on study) then go to the freezer from there if not used within the 3 to 8 days. Now I am questioning how I have been reading the guidelines! Our hospital does not have a NICU. What guidelines do other hospitals (with healthy baby nurseries) use? Thanks!
