5 days - big thing is to make sure it's in the fridge rather than the door. If you've frozen, once defrosted need to use it within 24hrs. When I was expressing 200ml+ a day I used the milk storage bags (boots ones) and would decant milk in there from the medela bottles.

two years ago my health visitor said: 24 hours in the fridge, but last time I saw her 2 months ago she said that according to new research it is now 3 days in the fridge. outside the fridge: 1 hour.


I have never questioned it and never researched for more info, it seemed reasonable and I just followed her advice.

maybe best thing (v. unscientific) is always to taste it first.


I used to freeze breast milk & couldn't work out why my son refused the bottle... until I tasted it & realised it was going off when frozen. Yuk.


I found an article on kellymom which said that this is not uncommon because some women's milk is v. high in certain enzymes. Or something.

It hasn't gone off, just tastes odd. It's to do with lipase, if you scALD IT BEFORE FREEZING IT WON'T HAPPEN

Kelly mom says 8 days in fridge, as does something else I have - but having tried it several times, I can assure the assembled company that my milk is off after 8 days in our fridge.

Maybe I don't put it near enough the back, but I don't leave it in the door.

And tasting it does work, but isn't so great if you taste it just before you wanted to go out, and realise that if you do the baby will have nothing to eat...

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
