How many degrees of water to heat breast milk

Patient's question:

How much water temperature is best for heating breast milk? I haven't learned about this before, and now I want to find out.

Doctor's answer:

Heating breast milk to around 40 degrees Celsius is the most suitable temperature. If it is heated too much, many heat-sensitive nutrients in breast milk, such as probiotics and vitamins, will be damaged, leading to loss. Breast milk can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours, and in the refrigerator for about 8 days. However, feeding the baby fresh breast milk is the most nutritious. If the mother has no other matters, it is best not to leave the child.
