Confused over breast milk storage

[Mum2betash]

I have been expressing and they say you can put it in the fridge for up to 6/7days.. Well I put it in the fridge for not even a few hours and it's always got I say like little lumps in it as if it's starting to go off?? Is this just what happens to the milk or is it actually going off?? Xx

That's just the foremilk and hind milk separating hun x

Ohh thank you very much we've been throwing it away lol! Xxx

Oh bless you! They will go back together if warmed, if some cream has stuck to the outside you can gently swirl the milk to get it off but don't shake it xx

I wouldn't leave it for 6/7 days tho I leave mine 5 max. I get lumps on the top too

If ur ever concerned, do the sniff test! It goes sour and changes colour to a deeper yellow when off
