Breast milk is the most natural, safe and complete natural food for babies, containing all the nutrients and antibodies needed by babies.

However, many moms may have to go to work or have too much breast milk. There is also a case where the newborn has jaundice or the disease needs hospitalization, and the mother cannot go out because of the confinement.

They can insist on feeding by extruding breast milk and preserving breast milk. However, some treasures are improper in the process of preserving and heating breast milk, resulting in a decline in the quality of breast milk, and some even make petite little babies sick. Really should not

Next, let me talk about how to properly preserve breast milk.

1. Health

Your baby’s gastrointestinal tract is very fragile, regardless of whether you are at home or outside, you will be exposed to a lot of bacteria.

First, before the milking, the mothers should wash their hands carefully.

If you use a breast pump, you should also wash the breast pump, first rinse it with water, then wash it with hot water to keep your baby clean.

2. Choose the right milk storage item

Some moms like to use metal products, but the active factors in breast milk are easy to attach to the metal.

We can choose a special milk storage bag, which can be frozen and sealed well, and it does not contain bisphenol A plastic products.

Secondly, choose glassware, because the glass is easily cracked when it is cold.

Nowadays, nursery stores everywhere can buy special milk storage bags and storage bottles, which are safe, safe and easy to use.

Too small is also very troublesome, one is not enough to eat, two can not finish

This is very important, don’t do whatever you want, think about it yourself.

Let me talk about it in detail.

Breast milk can be stored for 4 hours at room temperature above 25°

Breast milk can be stored for 1 day in a small freezer box above 15°.

If placed in a refrigerator above 4°, it can be stored for two days. But if the refrigerator is often switched, you can only save one day.

If placed in a freezer in -5°, it can be stored for 3 to 6 months.

Long-term -20 ° cryopreservation, up to 6 to 12 months long-term preservation purposes

In addition, the breast milk that is squeezed out is preferably stored at the beginning of cryopreservation.

7. Store by date

When the mothers pay attention to the shelf life, they can also indicate the milking date on the unsacked milk.

Can be accurate to morning or afternoon

The most recent breast milk is placed in the innermost part, first sucked out and eaten first. Let your baby drink the highest quality breast milk

8. How to unfreeze

Rinse the container with cold water first, then gradually add hot water, and shake it continuously to make it evenly heated.

The microwave oven is unevenly heated, which affects the baby’s absorption.

In addition, the stored breast milk will have a slight cream rise, and the baby will be shaken before feeding the baby.

After the baby has finished eating the milk, the bottle should be cleaned immediately. Some parents will save more than one bottle to clean together.

This is not right, the residual breast milk, it is easy to deteriorate and breed bacteria, we have to wash with food

Moreover, the bottle also has a life span, which is replaced according to the material of the bottle to ensure the baby’s health and safety.
