Post subject: Expressing... Hello all... Im confused
 (doesnt take much  )
When expressing i know you have to write the date on well.. Can you express into the same bag throughout the day then put it in the freezer/fridge? or does each time i express have to be stored seperately?? Xxx_________________

Post subject: Oh right thankyou very much and do you know how long breastmilk keeps without being put in fridge/freezer? I read it was 12 hours?
As i was going to express at night and take it up in a bottle would that be ok? Xx_________________

Post subject: Not sure, but i would refrigerate as soon as expressed really as the longer it is left at room temp the more chance there is of bacteria building up.
It keeps at the back of the fridge for 5 days and 3 months in the freezer. If giving milk from freezer, give the milk 24 hours in the fridge to defrost before using and dont microwave. If heating, put milk into bottle and warm in a bowl of hot water. Only takes about five mins to get to right temp (tested on back of wrist) Hope that helps, MAndy xx _________________
