Just to warn you (though it might have been a fluke) the only time I mixed milk I'd pumped from 2 different days, my LO threw up the entire bottle! (She NEVER puked up her milk and was never a sicky baby so mixing my milk was the only thing I could of that caused her to do it). Never mixed again.
There isn't any intrinsic reason that mixing milk from different days would cause vomitting, proving good food hygiene was observed to reduce the chance of bacteria multiplying in the milk. That being said, breastmilk is fairly hardy stuff, in that the antibodies and other immune elements in the milk actually help to deter bacteria. The vomitting was most likely not related to the milk at all. It sounds like it was just a strange coincidence. I'd agree it was a fluke.

Ha ha, I know how you feel! The only time I get in the day where I can successfully express is just before we do the school run. My 5 year old son is fascinated by the mechanics of the pump so stands right in front watching, and my 3.5 year old finds the whole thing hilarious. Oh for the days when I could do it in the morning while lazing in bed!


I add to existing milk, it's fine as others have said.
