Patient's question:
Breast milk is refrigerated after being expressed, and it is taken out and heated with a warming device when the baby eats. Sometimes, when the baby is very hungry, it is heated on the 70-degree setting. Will this destroy the nutrients? Will repeatedly heating on the 40-degree setting destroy the nutrients?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: Breast milk should be avoided in the refrigerator. If you need to feed the child with refrigerated food, it should still be boiled first. Therefore, breast milk can be stored at room temperature for two hours, and it can be slightly heated when the child eats it. Additional advice: If the mother's milk supply is insufficient, she should add some formula milk to the child's diet and continue to monitor the situation. It is recommended to consult a professional for specific advice. I hope my response is helpful to you.
