It depends upon how you stored the breast milk.
Breast milk should be stored following all hygienic precautions. In refrigerator it can be stored upto 4 days.
Frozen breast milk can be stored for two weeks in a regular freezer.
When breast milk is stored in a specialized deep freezer by technicians it can be stored upto 12 months.
