thaw in the refrigerator, and all guidelines say to use within 24 hours. in practice in my family we could stretch that a little bit, but it never re-heated (for a 2nd feed) without spoiling. it'll be obvious when it's spoiled.
DS 6/7/11 - Still night & morning nursing, but the rest of the time he just doesn't have time for me! After mostly working at home, gleefully packed away the pump at 11 months.

I thaw under running warm to hot water. I prefer to thaw in the fridge, but I forget![]()

you can also use cool water - that way you won't kill any of the goodness. thaw in refrigerator is the best.
