For those of you who work in NICUs.... are you required to have separate fridges to store MBM and formula?  



MBM is not a biohazard per CDC, nor is it considered an “other potentially infectious material” (OPIM) per OSHA. 



It makes no sense. Our breast milk fridges are overfull (with high risk of errors) and there is a formula fridge next to it with one lone bottle. 



Thanks for any insight!
