Research shows that human milk has an amazing capacity to resist
bacterial growth, and can be kept at room temperature for up to ten
hours. In a landmark study, mature human milk was expressed into clean,
not sterile, containers, some stored at room temperature (19-22o C or 66
to 72o F) and some refrigerated for ten hours. The milk was then
cultured to evaluate bacterial formation. No statistically significant
difference was found between levels of bacteria in the milk that had
been refrigerated and the milk stored at room temperature (Barger and
Bull 1987).
I think therefore that breast milk is even safer to aspirate than
anything else. It would incredibly difficult to thicken breastmilk
anyways as the enzymes would not allow for artificial thickeners.
