How long we can keep expressed breast milk using electric breast pump at room temperature?

As with any "food" material with significant nutrients, refrigeration after an hour or so will inhibit bacterial growth in the breast milk.

The process of extracting/expressing breast milk exposes it to skin germs that will make the possibility it will go bad a problem. If not consumed immediately or within the half hour I would toss remaining milk. If refrigerated immediately it can remain good for the day.
