At room temperature can be stored for 4 to 6 hours. In fridge, can be stored for 1 day while in deep freezer for 1 year. It should be stored in steel containers only. If kept in fridge, then it should be thawed in a utensil containing warm water and after it becomes a normal temp (to check by putting a drop on your back of palm and then of the child's palm) to feed the child. Not to feed expressed breast milk with bottle. Better with bowl and spoon.
