Storing breastmilk ?
I have 2 questions. First, if I have a bottle of milk in the fridge and add another one a few hours later, I can mix them once the other one is cold, right? I read just don't mix warm and cold.. also how do I warm the refrigerated milk? I know you can thaw frozen milk in warm water but what about milk from the fridge? I don't have a bottle warmer or anything. Thanks ladies ?

I've been mixing them together with no issues. He will drink it cold so I don't really have experience with warming.

@shaina thank you! I was wondering if they could drink it cold. Seems like it would be easier, especially when your on the go and don't have a way to warm it. Ill probably just try that.

What I would do would be just to run the bottle under warm water to warm it up a little bit. Basically the same as frozen. Some babies will drink milk at any temp. But I always warmed it a little! I always thought it was easier on the tummies!

Yes, just don't mix cold milk with warm milk. I warm the milk by putting a coffee mug with some water in microwave for about 30-45 seconds then put the bottle in that water for a few minutes until it's about the same as it would be straight from the boob.
