Kathleen,
According to my resources, freshly expressed breast milk may be stored in
the refrigerator (4*C or lower) for 3-5 days. This is the guides we use in
our area.
References:
Barger J, Bull P, 1987, 'A comparison of bacterial composition of breast
milk stored at room temperature and stored in the refrigerator'
Int J Childbirth Ed, 2: 29-30

Child 141: 111-12
These guidelines appear in our National Health and Medical Research Council
Infant feeding Guidelines for Health Workers, 1998.
Hope this helps,
Susan in Qld, Australia
