I took an LLL hotline call from an RN yesterday who asked about guidelines
for storing human milk in this specific case:
Full term, healthy infant, milk being expressed for home use, milk was
expressed and refrigerated for 2 days. Mom asked, Can it then be frozen,
and if so for how long? (Milk was not in contact with infant's mouth, just
stored.)
I read her the guidelines in the Breastfeeding Answer Book which she
already had from some other source. These don't specifically answer the
question.
TIA for any help with this question. I would appreciate it if any
response(s) could also be emailed to me directly (in addition to posting if
appropriate).
