Patient's question:
There is a little chilled breast milk left in the refrigerator. I want to give it to the baby. Can fresh breast milk and chilled breast milk be eaten together?Doctor's answer:
It's best not to mix fresh breast milk with refrigerated breast milk, whether it's refrigerated or frozen. If you have excess milk, cool it to room temperature and then freeze it. You can drink it later when you have less milk. Pay attention to the hygiene of the containers. Once heated, if it's not consumed, it cannot be refrigerated again and should be discarded. For most patients, it's necessary to gently shake it after heating to ensure it's well-mixed before feeding.
