This precious little girl came into the world on February 11th at 3:28 P.M.! Mom was so strong and never made a sound while laboring! Dad was amazing support and it was great to be a part of the team!

The CDC came out with breastmilk safety temperatures in 2010... It's unimaginable what moms did before this (sarcasm) ๐Ÿ™„ It was updated again in 2019 and 2023...

Enter a new small, 2026 study... testing milk from bottles after babies fed from them. Researchers measured bacterial levels over time at room temperature and in the fridge...

๐Ÿ˜ญ Hereโ€™s what they found:
โ€ข Bacteria increased right after feeding (which makes sense โ€” babyโ€™s mouth introduces normal bacteria).
โ€ข But there was no meaningful increase at 4 or even 8 hours, whether the milk was kept around 68ยฐF (20ยฐC) or refrigerated.
โ€ข Noticeable growth showed up after 24 hours at room temperature.
โ€ข Refrigerated milk remained stable and low-risk for up to 24 hours.

โœ” A partially used bottle can likely be refrigerated and reused within 24 hours.
โœ” If needed, it may be reasonable to keep it at room temperature for several hours (up to about 8 hours ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜€๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐˜†).
โœ”They also found that unused pumped milk was often ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ at room temperature than the commonly quoted 4-hour limit, with minimal bacterial growth in many cases.๐Ÿคฏ

Breastmilk is incredibly resilient. ๐Ÿ’› Does this change how you feel about leftover milk?

This little angel (why his name is so fitting) was long waited for and prayed for! He was born early on Thanksgiving day and this was him at the postpartum appointment! I love coming after the births to see how much they have changed in such a short time and to see how mom is doing! Almost three weeks old in this picture and he is doing amazing! Mom is great as well!
