Store breast milk for storage

If left in a freezer, breastmilk can be stored for 2 weeks. Therefore, mothers who return to work after birth can still breastfeed completely in the first half of the year as recommended by the health sector.

Instructions on how to squeeze and store standard breastmilk

Preservation

If she persists in milking and knows how to preserve, she still has enough milk to eat when she goes to work.Glass is considered to be the best material to store breast milk because the ingredients in breast milk are best preserved in glass. The second is a good quality plastic bottle . Should choose the type of bottle dedicated to storing milk.

New milk squeezed in room temperature can be stored for a relatively long time:

1. Up to 4 hours at 27 degrees C.
2. At 10 o'clock at 21 o C.
3. Up to 24 hours at 16 degrees Celsius, for example in ice packs.

If you do not plan to give your baby milk immediately after squeezing, you should store breast milk in the refrigerator as soon as possible. If left in the refrigerator, breastmilk can be kept for 1-3 days.

Storage of breast milk in the freezer : The maximum time can be up to 3 months (depending on the temperature in the freezer and the frequency of opening - opening the cabinet) and 6 months if in a chiller. Do not store breastmilk in the freezer door because the temperature there is often incorrect.

When you want to put milk in the freezer, you should put the milk in the cool compartment first and transfer it to the freezer. Similarly, when you want to thaw, transfer the milk from the freezer to the cooler about ngăn-1 day before bringing the milk out. However, you should not store breastmilk for too long, but give it as soon as possible.

When you cool the milk, the fat in the milk forms a thin layer on the surface. When warming the milk again, you should shake it evenly to redistribute this fat layer.

Warm milk

Microwave ovens can destroy antibodies that fight infections in breast milk, creating ' hot seeds ' that can cause burns to your baby. Therefore, do not warm breast milk with a microwave oven.

The bottle should be placed in a cup of warm water, or under warm running water, and warmed to room temperature. Infants may refuse to drink new milk taken from the refrigerator, but it is not harmful.

Can the child reuse the amount of breastmilk left in the front leg?

There is no research work on this issue. However, mothers can store the remaining amount of breastmilk that the baby has not finished drinking and continue to drink the next milk. If you have any doubts, it's best to remove this excess milk.

After thawing the frozen milk by placing the bottle in a cup of warm water, you can continue to store it in the refrigerator for another 24 hours, but not for the second time.

Why is frozen breast milk sometimes smelling when defrosting?

Lipase is a fat digestive enzyme, still active while breast milk is frozen. Some mothers have high levels of lipase enzymes in milk and when they thaw, these mothers' milk often smells and tastes soap. This milk does not harm children, but children often do not like and refuse to breastfeed.

In this case, you can boil the milk gently (about 82 degrees Celsius) before storing it to inactivate the lipase enzyme, until there are small bubbles around the pot. Then you cool quickly and store.
