I pumped milk and put in the frig, then I warmed it and gave to my baby. Can I reuse that milk if I put it back in the frig?

Tanya, the information comes from a tear-off sheet called “Storing Human Milk.” It can be obtained from La Leche League Leaders (make sure you confirm it is the most recent version, dated June 2008). The new guidelines do not distinguish between regular freezers and deep freezers.

Interesting! Did they distinguish between regular and deep freezers? Is it up somewhere on their site (I looked but couldn’t find anything)?
