Can breast milk from different times be stored together?

Patient's question:

Store in the refrigerator for preservation, planning to give it to the baby in two hours. Can breast milk from different times be stored together?

Doctor's answer:

Store breast milk in separate bags as much as possible. At room temperature (19 to 26°C), breast milk can be stored for 4 to 6 hours. Try to cover the breast milk container and place it in a cool, shaded area. In refrigeration (4 to 18°C), it can be stored for 24 hours. In freezing (below 4°C), it can be stored for 72 hours to 8 days. After taking breast milk out of the refrigerator, heat it with lukewarm water (around 60°C) through a bottle before giving it to the baby. After storage, label the container with the date and time, and consume it in the order it was stored.
