Breast milk
Is it okay to refrigerate leftover breast milk my baby didn’t finish?
I don’t want the milk to go to waste. 😫

@Jessica it is the same
You can't feed it to them after it's been drunk from and out longer than an hour. You can use it for a breast milk bath (basically add it into the tub or sink when you bathe baby). It's good for their skin.
You can make it into soap or lotion or a bath but they can’t eat it once it is leftover. It hurts a tiny bit every time I dump some out but I’d rather be safe than sorry.
I freeze all the leftover breast milk and put BMT(Breastmilk Toxic) so it isn’t given to her, but I can use it for other things.
@Allana Nikpouri smart! I’ll do the same

With formula, they say if the baby drank from the bottle then it can be used within an hour, but after that it needs to be thrown out. I think it’s the same for breast milk.
