Idk if this is dumb or not.

So I plan to breast feed, but pump when I go out or something. Do I just pump and keep it in a bottle, wouldn't it go bad if I don't give it to him right away? Or if I pump and go out and it's like an hour later, is it still good ? Sorry if that doesn't make sense but that's the only way I know how to explain it.

Okay thank you ladies! And I don't plan to pump often unless I need to. So probably not for the first 8 weeks :)

Sorry, 5 months in the freezer*

I read that 5 is the magic number for breast milk. 5 hours at room temp, 5 days in the fridge and 5 in the freezer. I'd double check as I wasn't able to beast feed my 11 month old. Just carry a small cooler. Put it in a bottle with reusable ice packs.

I will say that you HAVE to wait until you have a steady milk supply or you'll dry up slowly! (That's what happened to me)

My sister pump and she would leave it in the bottle but in the refrigerator. Its still good after an hour later.. One of my friends use to pump and freeze her milk and use it when she need too.
