Patient's question:
Hello, can frozen breast milk and fresh breast milk be mixed together to feed the baby? I haven't learned about this before, and I'd like to find out.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you with your question: 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. Patients generally need to gently shake it after heating to ensure it is well-mixed before feeding. It can be given to the baby. Breast milk contains a lot of fat, so after heating, it should be gently shaken to ensure it is well-mixed before feeding.
