Brief Answer: It can be fed in plastic bottles Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Yes expressed breast milk can be fed in plastic bottles. But it is better stored in glass bottles or breast milk storage bags to avoid to avoid loss of immunoglobulins. It can be stored at room temperature up to 8 hours. It can be stored in refrigerator up to 5 days. It can be given regularly every 2 hours. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist further. Dr Vaishalee
