   I will support Cathy in this...my written recommendations are 6 days.... i
would have to search for the reference...my best guess is it is hmbna ( humna
milk bank of north america) as that is what I use as a base...

   try jensen and Jensen Specialty lipids for infant nutrition Milkd and
formulas J. Pediatra Gastroent Nutr 1: 233-245 1992

    or berkow et all Pediatr Res 18: 257-1262 1984 Lipases and lipids in
human mil: effect of freeze thawing and storage.

     from rec for collection storate and handling of a mother' smilk for her
own infant in the hospital setting.
