Is it safe that i pump a 6oz bottle of breastmilk and feed it to my newborn at night? he wakes up like 3 times & drinks 2 oz. i leave it in the bedroom

Safe- yes: Room temp stored breast milk- for overnight use is ok. But usually recommended to keep it refrigerated for use over 2-3 days. Frozen bm is suggested if used over a week.
