Breast milk storage question

[Deleted]

Before going to bed I pulled out three bottles of bm that I pumped earlier in the day.  I forgot to bag it up.  Woke up to pump and found the milk on the counter.  It's been out for about 5 hours.  Would you still freeze for use later?  It doesn't smell or taste off.  I don't want to toss about 20 oz unless I have to.

As long as it wasn't heated at all, bpm is good at room temp for 6-8 hours. If it smells fine, I would freeze it!

That's what I figured. I bagged it but made a note to use immediately when thawed. Thanks!

I agree, I would freeze it but use it within a couple months!
