Patient's question:
I store breast milk in my home refrigerator, which also contains my family's food and vegetables. When the child is ready to eat, should I boil it first or just warm it with water? Does boiling cause the loss of nutrients?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to consume refrigerated breast milk as soon as possible within 3 months of expiration. The sooner the better. However, remember not to boil breast milk, as the nutrients will be lost. It is suggested to take it out of the refrigerator in advance before consumption and then place it in a pot to heat with hot water, without boiling. It is even more important not to boil it. Some people suggest that during breastfeeding, you should pay more attention to rest and diet, which is also beneficial for your baby. Rest more, so the absorption will be better.
