Breast milk, how long does it last?

Question

OK, so if i were to put breast milk in the freezer, how long would it last?? Is it still as good as it is from the boob?

How long does it last in the fridge?

Thanks

Answer 1

Breast milk in the freezer should last up to 3 months and in the fridge it lasts for 1 week.  However it looses some of nutrients because it is frozen.  It will never be as good as straight from the tap but if it is necessary its still better than formula.

Answer 2

Different times/ rules for fresh verses thawed milk.

Fresh Milk

Deep Freezer (below 0*F) = 6-12 months

Refrigerator freezer (approximately 0*F) = 3-4 months

Freezer compartment within a refrigerator (like those ones in mini fridges) = 2 weeks

Refrigerator (32*-39*F) = 8 days

Cooler bag with ice packs = 24 hours

Room temp (66-72*F) = 6-10 hours

Thawed Milk

Deep freeze = Do not refreeze

Refrigerator freezer = Do not refreeze

Freezer compartment within a refrigerator (like those ones in mini fridges) = Do not Refreeze

Refrigerator = 24 hours

Room temp = 1 hour

Leftover milk from a feeding = use immediately or discard

Answer 3

If it's stored properly it is good for three months in a fridge freezers, six months in a chest or deep freezer.
