Patient's question:
I store breast milk in my home refrigerator, which also contains my family's food and vegetables. When the child needs to eat, I can boil it and then feed it. Does boiling cause the loss of nutrients?Doctor's answer:
You can store breast milk in the refrigerator for cooling. This method is quite practical. If the mother has an abundant milk supply, especially when the child is not consuming much milk, she can express the milk and place it in a storage bag, storing it in the refrigerator. The storage time depends on the temperature of the refrigerator. If the temperature is lower, the storage time may be longer.Breast milk should be brought to room temperature rather than boiled in water, as boiling can alter or lose the nutritional components of the milk.
