Expressed milk when out and about??
Hello girls,
Was wondering as breast milk is kept in the fridge and then warmed up or left at room temp - is it ok to transport the milk say when shopping for the day - my little on is 17 days old so still has a little difficulty latching on quickly so bit difficult when out and about. I have 4oz in a bottle ready to go just wanted to make sure it wouldn't go bad if left out of the fridge for a few hours.
Thanks for your help,
Amy N Amber xx

It does say you can store BM at room temp for 4 hrs however only if the temperature is less than 25 degrees C (that's OK then - lol).
