How long does breastmilk stay fresh?

Question

I am leaving this coming Sunday for about 12 hours and need to pump enough milk for my daughter to have throughout the day. I was planning on starting pumping today to have enough by then but was wondering if it will still be fresh then?

Any answers would be greatly appricated! Thanks!

Answer 1

It can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours or in the freezer in a sealed airtight bag for up to 3 months.

discard it after either of those times as it will go off!

Good luck

Answer 2

4 Days in the fridge

3 months in the fridge's freezer (not in the door)

12 months in a chest freezer

Answer 3

Breast milk stays fresh in the fridge for about a day. It can be frozen for up to a week, but it must be thawed obviously before using.  

Answer 4

The following are some general breast milk storage guidelines:

At room temperature (less than 77°F) for 4 to 8 hours

At the back of a refrigerator for 3 to 8 days

At the back of a freezer for up to 3 months

Even longer in a deep freeze...

Hope this helps
