I mixed different lots of milk when I was expressing to make full bottles so as long as they’ve been stored correctly and aren’t ‘out of date’ I don’t see why not x

You can store breast milk in the fridge for up to 3 days at 4 degrees. As long as you’re not combining milks that are over this amount of time and have been stored correctly, then it’s fine.

Yes you can as long as both are at a similar temp when mixed, and if freezing use the date of the earlier one. There's lots of confusing advice on storing the milk, some websites say 3 days, some as long as 8 (Le Leche league). I followed the 666 rule, 6 hours at room temp, 6 days in the fridge, or 6months in the freezer x
