Patient's question:
The baby falls asleep as soon as they start breastfeeding, and there is a lot of milk. Can I express it and put it in a bottle for them to drink? Will it not be fresh?Doctor's answer:
Pour the expressed milk directly into a clean, covered glass bottle or plastic bottle or milk storage bag, seal it tightly, and leave some space for expansion when frozen. Follow the principle of using one container per pumping session and label the container with the date and time of expression.Frozen breast milk may separate and become uneven, so gently swirl it to mix before use. If you have small amounts of frozen milk, you can combine them. When warming breast milk, use lukewarm running water to rinse it for a few minutes to reach room temperature. Never heat breast milk directly over a flame or in a microwave, as this can destroy nutrients.
To thaw frozen breast milk, place it in a bowl of cold running water and gradually add warm water until it reaches room temperature. Warm only the amount your baby needs to eat, and add more if necessary.
