We are revisiting the subject of when breastmilk is considered thawed in our 
NICU.  I don't think the timing of the 24 hour use of thawed milk should begin 
when the milk is moved from the freezer to the refrigerator, but from when it is 
actually thawed.  Unfortunately I can not find any research or guidelines 
defining when the milk is considered thawed.  When I posted this question 
several years ago I received a couple of opinions ranging from "not until it is 
completely liquid" to "when the milk is more liquid than frozen".  Does anyone 
know somewhere I might find clarification?  This is not specifically addressed in 
the HMBANA Best Practice guidelines.  Thanks in advance for any help you can 
offer!
