Smell it: When in doubt, just smell the milk. If it has gone bad it will be obvious.  It will smell rancid and taste sour, not sweet. Human milk can be stored at room temperature (66-72°F, 19-22°C) for up to 10 hours and in a refrigerator (32-39°F, 0-4°C) for up to 8 days.

Accepted Answer

Feeding problems: Babies who have breast fed when their mothers were on fluoxetine have been reported to have irritability, feeding problems, sleep problems, and poor weight gain.  In addition, the baby's brain is still developing, so there may be unknown effects on brain development since this is a drug that affects brain chemicals.
