Can breast milk still be consumed at 100℃?

Patient's question:

Can breast milk be given to the baby after being heated to 100 degrees? I haven't learned about this before, and I'd like to find out.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby's diarrhea is caused by consuming frozen milk, after all, it's not fresh breast milk. Since the baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed and their immunity is relatively low, diarrhea symptoms may occur after drinking frozen milk.
If you have already lowered your temperature and are not taking any medication, you can continue breastfeeding the baby. If the child is on medication, you can switch to formula milk to help regulate their condition. If the effect is not satisfactory, you can try using an umbilical patch for the baby.
