Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year and am currently in breastfeeding, often experiencing the issue of milk engorgement. So, I want to express the milk out for the baby first. So, I want to ask, how long can breast milk not be consumed after being stored?Doctor's answer:
Breast milk generally cannot be consumed after being left out of the refrigerator for four hours, but this also depends on the weather. In the summer, breast milk is usually not suitable for the baby after about two hours. The duration for which breast milk can be stored is determined by the specific storage temperature. If you are currently experiencing frequent engorgement, it is recommended that you reduce your intake of soups. Additionally, if you want to store breast milk for a longer period, it is best to keep it in the refrigerator.
