Dh thawed and warmed 2 oz of my milk. Dd drank an ouince. Can I keep the other ounce in the fridge and use it tomorrow? I hate to lose an ounce, if I don't have to - but, of course, don't want dd getting sick either. TIA!

Thawed then refridgerated is good for 24 hours. If she's drank out of the milk, then technically it's been contaminated by her silvia, but I've never had a problem saving milk my lo has already drank out of for a day or so.

Here is some great info on kellymom:

I like the advice from Jan Barger, IBCLC "One of the best tests of whether the milk is spoiled is to do what you do with cow's milk: Smell it and taste it!"

Thanks, all! I think I followed the guidelines strictly with ds, but I was flying completely solo. I thought I'd heard since then that it's not technically "okay" or recommended but that in practice it's probably not going to hurt anything. I appreciate it!
