You can store your breastmilk to keep it fresh for your baby in a number of ways: At room temperature (no more than 25 degrees C), for up to six hours. In a cool box, with ice packs, for up to 24 hours. In a fridge (at four degrees C or colder), for up to five days..In a fridge's freezer compartment, for two weeks.
