Can I use this milk?

[Morgana]

I left out some expressed milk last night. It was pumped at 9pm. I put it in one of those Medela coolers with the ice pack. I finally put it in the fridge at 6am this morning. I normally don't keep milk in that cooler too long because it doesn't seem to keep it cold enough. The guidelines from Medela that I have list a cooler with 3 ice packs but what I'm using is their product but there's only room for one ice pack. I thought it was kind of weird that they don't list the times for their product or maybe I've missed it. Anyway, should I use this milk or dump it? Thanks.

Smell it and taste it. If its still good then yes you can use it. If it smells at all sour then don't use it.

Does it smell ok? Was the bottle still cool?

It happened to me more than once, and it was fine.

peace...

It smells fine but my nose is plugged so I'm not sure I can smell that much. The bottle was still cool. I'm have DH smell and taste it before he uses it. thanks!

yep it is fine. BM is good at room temp for 8 hours.

What phrogger said. It was just over 8 hours, but at a cooler temp so it should be fine.
