Is my breastmilk safe after being frozen in plastic bottles?
A babysitting family member took the fresh milk I had given her to feed baby for the day and she just froze the whole bottle. I can’t find a reputable source online about if this milk is safe for baby to drink since that’s obviously not the recommended storage.
The milk is frozen in roughly 6oz portions in the Lansinoh plastic collection bottles with a good air gap between the milk and the screw on plastic lid. My concerns are that the bottles are leakproof but not necessarily airtight so I am concerned about odors and bacteria from the freezer getting to the milk and making baby sick. Also concerned about hot spots in the reheating process.
An entire days worth of pumping was frozen this way :( Would you feed it to your baby or do you think it’s ruined?
