how long can i keep pumped milk in the fridge? is there a probability that it would grow mold?

Kellymom says 8 days if it is fresh milk (that is, was never frozen).

I didn't like longer that five days. It won't grow mold, but it will turn sour. It'll smell bad. I once had a soured milk and baby would not take the bottle, just spit it back out. I didn't do a sniff test prior to giving it to her. I'd be a bit surprised if milk lasted 8 days. It probably has to be in the back of the fridge and the fridge turned pretty cold.

I've pushed it 5 or 6 days, at the back of the fridge. Any longer than that and mine really started to smell sour.

"mold" is ubiquitous. if the milk was exposed to the air or came into contact with anything exposed to the air, there's a chance for mold growth. i had some in the fridge for 2 weeks and it didn't grow mold...so it would probably be waaaaay old if there's mold in it!
