Patient's question:
I put the breast milk in the separator on the door of the freezer, and after two months, the breast milk had completely turned yellow. Is this normal? Can breast milk that has turned yellow still be consumed? How can I tell if breast milk has gone bad?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm happy to help you with your question: If you want to preserve breast milk for a longer time, it's better to freeze it rather than refrigerate it. Refrigerated breast milk that has been stored for two months should not be consumed and should be discarded. In frozen breast milk, the yellowing is a sign of protein denaturation, and relatively speaking, the nutrients are also compromised. It's not spoilage, but it's best to check the specific situation. I hope my response is helpful to you.
