Patient's question:
The breast milk I put in the refrigerator, when I take it out to warm it up, how much hot water is appropriate?Doctor's answer:
The most suitable temperature for warm breast milk is around 40-50 degrees Celsius, so using 45-degree hot water to warm the breast milk is appropriate. Excessive heat will lead to the destruction and loss of nutrients in breast milk. In addition to water temperature, mothers should also pay attention to the duration and frequency of warming breast milk during the process. If the time is accidentally too long, it may cause the milk to spoil. While warming the same amount of milk too many times can also lead to spoilage. Generally, the normal duration for warming milk is about 2 minutes, and the best frequency is once.
