Breast milk fridge temp spoiled milk and gave to baby
I had no fucking idea my toddler changed the mini fridges temp. (It’s in my room) Idk how long ago it was and I’ve been putting my cups and milk in the fridge. (I know it was her bc I ask her to put my milk in the fridge bc she likes to help. She just turned 3) I’m not mad at her but wtf.
I just realized TONIGHT. I Changed back the temp. And then checked the milk temp. It was 52-54 degrees. I dumped out over 30 oz of milk. Bc it sits there all day in a big jar and I take and put milk into it.
My baby is sick. The whole house was sick. But baby is last to be sick and idk if he’s actually sick by the virus or the spoiled milk for god knows how long.
I change out my milk every night. Whatever wasn’t eaten in the day gets put into freezer bags and I start fresh.
So idk how many bags were the spoiled milk. Idk when the temp was changed.
I’m freaking out. Google says worst case scenario is meningitis.

I put your situation into ChatGPT and there is a substantial risk, so definitely get checked out. This is what it said.

While it’s not good, doesn’t sound like it’s been more than 16 hours if you remove every night, and that’s only for the oldest milk. That’s at a substantially lower temperature than room temperature which would slow bacteria growth. I’d get baby checked over by a medical professional if ill and explain the situation. They can check symptoms and tell you what to look out for. Hopefully, the temperature would have been just low enough to have stopped bacteria growing too quickly. Fingers are crossed they’re okay. X
