    so you heated it from frozen, it wasn't drank so you put it in the fridge to be heated again??

    If so I don't think you can reheat it

    Sorry darl but my understanding is that once breastmilk has been heated it can't be heated again. I'll be interested to find out if this is right or not. Isn't it frustrating when we have to waste our precious EBM.

    yup you can't reheat ebm...the changes in temp can cause bacteria to grow
    heartbreaking i know!...My DS always leave a little, I almost want to cry when I tip it down the sink
