Can breast milk from the same day be stored together?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my wife is 24 years old this year, she has given birth to a daughter, and is currently breastfeeding. Can breast milk collected on the same day be stored together?

Doctor's answer:

Different times of expressed breast milk can be mixed together. If you vomit a lot of breast milk, you can mix the breast milk that was vomited around the same time. If the interval is short, it is recommended to place the first expressed breast milk in the refrigerator, and the second or third expressed breast milk in the refrigerator as well. When the temperatures are the same, they can be mixed together and stored. Generally, breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to eight days.
