Storing breast milk safely is complicated but oh-so important. Here's everything you need to know, from how long it can stay out, how to freeze it and how to thaw and serve it to your baby. breastmilk breastmilkstorage
bags are your best option. Choose two- or four-ounce storage bags and, if you plan on freezing the milk, be sure to leave a little room at the top of the bag because the milk will expand when it freezes. Write the date you pumped on the bag so you’ll know when to throw it out. Don’t use disposable bottle liners or other types of plastic bags.
If you thaw the breast milk in the fridge, use it within 24 hours, counting from when it's completely thawed. Once the milk is brought to room temperature, use it within two hours. Women often don’t realize that their breast milk is high in lipase until they freeze it because the changes to the milk take a few hours—or even a day—to take effect, so you probably wouldn’t notice the changes with fresh milk. If you’re concerned about your baby not wanting to drink the breast milk, talk to your doctor to find out about a process to help neutralize the enzyme and lessen the smell.Generally speaking, you’ll know that your breast milk has gone bad if it smells rancid or sour.
Be sure to test the milk's temperature with a few drops on your wrist before feeding it to your baby.We all know how precious breast milk is, and the thought of wasting even a drop makes us cringe. But once a baby starts, some bacterial contamination occurs in the milk from the infant’s mouth, says Campbell. This means that you shouldn’t reheat the milk.
