1.Never microwave breastmilk as it can cause severe burns to your babies mouth and increase risk of bacteria contamination.
2. Warm milk on running water for a few minutes, or put the container in a pot of water that has been heated on a stove.
3. Do not heat the breastmilk directly on a stove
4.There is no harm reported if milk is refrigerated, re-warmed and used within a few hours. ( we have always done this and haven’t seen any issues)
5. Never refreeze leftover breastmilk.
6. Never refreeze thawed milk
7. Freshmilk is preferred , but frozen milk is also fine ( think of your own meals..right)
8. It is ok to add freshly expressed breastmilk to already refrigerated milk within the same 24hr period.
9. Do not shake breastmilk, instead swirl it ( moving the container in a circular motion). Shaking the milk breaks the protective proteins in the milk. The milk contains white blood cells ( leukocytes) that defend the body against infections.
