Good question, and no need to worry if you understand the timing. Once you remove breastmilk from the fridge and it's at room temperature (up to 25°C), use it within 2 hours maximum. If your baby has already drunk from the bottle, use the remaining milk within 1 hour, because bacteria from their mouth enter the milk.
If your baby drank milk outside those time windows and shows no signs of upset, fussiness, vomiting, or diarrhea, you don't need to worry—just follow these times for next time. If milk has been out longer than 2 hours and you're unsure, it's safest to discard it.
If you share your baby's age, I can give more detailed storage and warming tips.
