Caroline asked for new guidelines from LLLI regarding  milk storage.

The new, revised edition of THE BREASTFEEDING ANSWERBOOK has this on page 212
-

"At room temperature -
     Term colostrum
     * at 80.6 to 89.6 dgrees F (27 to 32 degrees C) - 12 hours (Nwankwo
1988)
     Mature Milk
     * at 60 degrees F (15 degrees C) - 24 hours (Hamosh 1996)
     * at 66 to 72 degrees F (19-22 degrees C) - 10 hours (Barger and Bull
1987)
     * at 79 degrees F (25 degrees C) - 4 to 6 hours (Hamosh 1996, Pittard
1985)

"In a refrigerator
     Mature milk
     * at 32 to 39 degrees F (0 to 4 degrees C) - 8 days (Pardou 1994)

"In a freezer
     *in a freezer compartment located inside a refrigerator - 2 weeks
     " in a self-contained freezer unit of a refriegerator - 3 or 4 months
(temperature varies because the door opens and closes frequently)
     * in a separate deep freeze at a constant 0 degrees F (-19 degrees C) -
6 months or longer."

Hope this helps!

Warmly,
