Breastmilk Question

Sindel - October 15

I pump and store my br___tmilk in the fridge. The temp in there is pretty cold. It used to freeze some items until I turned it down a bit. Now I find that when the milk has been in the fridge for a day or two it seems to seperate and it also thickens up on the sides and sticks to the storage bottles.. It actually looks like regular milk gone bad. It doesnt smell bad and looks fine after i shake it. Ive read that its supposed to be good for 5-7 days in the fridge Has anyone else seen this before? Is it normal for this to happen?

This is completely normail. Our milk is not pasturized so the cream separates. Just mix it up gently before serving it.

That is normal..just shake it before serving...and it is fine.

I thought that b___stmilk is only good for 24-48 hours in the fridge. Am I wrong?

Mine does that too, I just shake it up. B- I have a book from the hospital and it says 5-7 days in the fridge, 3 months in the refrigerator freezer and up to 6 months in the deep freezer. Hope this helps!
