What to do with the milk when he doesn't finish the entire bottle?

post #1 of 5

When my ds is with his dad, sometimes he doesn't finish his last bottle of the day. Can this milk be saved for the next day?

As long as it is 100% breastmilk, kept in the fridge and used first thing the next day, I'd taste it and if it tasted OK I would use it.

I'll admit to saving BM and serving it the next day. I just threw it in the fridge. I didn't heat it more than twice, however. So if it had been a long feeding with a warming in the middle I didn't keep it.

I've wondered about that. My mom doesn't reuse any of the leftovers when she watches my DD. Gold down the drain!! I think she'll find the milk is even more of a precious resource now, as today is the last day of what we thought was an enormous freezer stash. I only pump enough nowadays for 2 4oz bottles of milk a day.
