Pumped milk?

So I pump a little extra milk to give to my boy while breastfeeding thru a dropper trying to help him gain some weight but my question is I know milk is good at room temp like 10 hrs but I noticed it starts to seperate... Is that okay?

Refrigerated breast milk can keep for 6-8 days. I always tried to use it sooner just because in my opinion with anything we ingest is that fresher is better.

Its normal. Its just the fat separating. Stir or shake it to mix it back up. Also I know they say 10 hours at room temp but I would try not to keep it that long unrefrigerated.

66-72 f is 10 hrs... So ne one else is it normal for it to look like that.. It doesn't take all day to get like that even within the first few hrs?
