Melissa asks about the growth of normal flora in breastmilk. I'm not sure if it is on this site, but Tim May's website could be useful: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/microbiology/milk.html Also the Pediatrics article: Hamosh M, et al, 1996. Breastfeeding and the Working Mother .... Pediatrics 97(4). This article does assess the growth of normal flora at various storage temperatures.
