reheat it with a cup of hot water is the way to go. You can also use the hot water to unthaw frozen or just put the frozen milk back in the fridge. I would pump through out the day, and put it in the fridge at the end of the night I would take the extra and freeze it. It is good in fridge 7days, and in freezer for a good while. Also it can be left out for awhile, its not like cows milk. Good luck to ya.
