BM question

I took a bag of frozen milk out of the freezer this morning and defrosted it using warm water. Never used it, it was kept cold the entire time we were out. I put it back in the fridge in the same bag.

How long is it good for?

I used the rule of 6 for if it was okay to use.
6 hours at room temp
6 days in the fridge
6 months in the freezer

I think if it's been defrosted once though it can't be reheated again? Or breaks down a bit? That part I can't remember.

That's what I can't remember, since it was frozen and defrosted...only 24 hours?

Yep, 24 hours after being defrosted.

Ditto. Defrosted milk must be consumed within 24 hours. Sorry, but bcarp30's rule of 6 doesn't apply here.

Agree with 24 hours.
