View Full Version : Storing/mixing EBM
I know this question has been asked before recently but I can't find the thread.
If I express milk at night and keep it in the fridge, can I add some more EBM to it in the morning? I am only expressing small amounts and want to make a decent amount before freezing.
Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

You can but it needs to be chilled as well before adding it to the previous batch (you shouldn't add warm milk to chilled or already frozen milk).
I think its also advised to only keep a batch in the fridge for up to 24 hours before you freeze it. :yes:
Excellent. Thank you. Also, if I just want to keep it in the fridge and not freeze, how long is it good for? 24 hours?
The ABA website says 3-5 days in the fridge.
Actually, here's the link to their little info table because it's great to print out and stick on the fridge! ;)
