Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my baby is only 20 days old. Today, he might have eaten sour breast milk and has been crying a lot, and also spitting up. I suspect the breast milk is sour. It's possible that a small amount of frozen colostrum from the night before was mixed with yesterday's breast milk. However, he also ate the same frozen colostrum the night before without any discomfort. Could you please tell me if this is a serious issue? I'm very worried. I'm still in the postpartum period and can't take him out freely. Do I need to take any medicine? I usually use a breast pump to extract the milk and leave it on the table to feed him when needed. Could you please tell me how long breast milk can be stored at room temperature in this season? The room was heated with an oil radiator at the time.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described above, why don't you let the baby drink milk directly? It's okay to drink chilled milk once, but next time, it may cause dysbiosis of the intestinal flora, which could lead to the recurrence of the above symptoms. I suggest you let the baby drink your milk directly in the future to avoid the recurrence of the above situation. The above advice is for the question "I drank frozen colostrum without discomfort. Please ask the doctor, is this important?" I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
