can I use this milk?
« on: May 09, 2006, 21:09:52 pm »
I pumped this morning and she only drank half of the bottle at daycare. I came home and put it in the frig.
My mommy brain can't remember if I can still use it after she has drank some of the bottle.
TIA

I have no problem reusing milk,  some will say not to because bacteria can form, but I think that is if it is held outside the fridge for more than 1 hour.  so, I would use it :)

I think I've read that re-using it once is ok.
