Patient's question:
After I expressed the excess milk, I refrigerated it. So, how long can thawed breast milk stay in a warmer?Doctor's answer:
When thawing frozen breast milk, first rinse the sealed bag with cold water, then gradually add hot water until the breast milk is completely thawed and reaches a suitable feeding temperature. Alternatively, place it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly. Do not heat breast milk directly with a stove or microwave, as this will destroy the nutrients in the milk. After thawing, pour it directly into a bottle to feed the baby. Thawed breast milk must be consumed within 24 hours and cannot be refrozen.
