Patient's question:
Can breast milk expressed on the same day, frozen breast milk, and fresh breast milk be mixed together to feed the baby?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if frozen breast milk is first thawed in cold water and then heated through a water bath, once heated, if it is not consumed, it cannot be refrigerated again and should be discarded. For most patients, after heating, it is necessary to gently shake it to mix evenly before feeding. It can be fed to the baby. Breast milk contains a lot of fat, so after heating, it should be gently shaken to mix evenly before feeding. When freezing, do not fill the milk storage bottle too full, and do not screw the lid too tight to prevent the bottle from bursting due to ice expansion during storage.
