As a lactation consultant with years of experience in helping new mothers with breastfeeding and milk storage, I can provide you with the following guidelines regarding the storage of breastmilk in the fridge:
Room Temperature: Breastmilk can be kept at room temperature for up to 4 to 6 hours.
Refrigerator: In a standard refrigerator (below 4°C or 40°F), breastmilk can last for up to 4 days.
Frozen: When stored in a freezer (-18°C or 0°F), breastmilk can be safely kept for 3 to 6 months, although the nutrient content remains stable, the taste can change slightly.
Always store breastmilk in a clean, tightly sealed container to prevent contamination and ensure freshness. It's also a good practice to label the container with the date of storage.
