How long does it take to heat 40° breast milk?

Patient's question:

Because of work, I pumped on Friday and put it in the freezer to save it for Monday to feed the baby. How long should I heat refrigerated breast milk to 40°C?

Doctor's answer:

From the description of the symptoms, it seems like this is the case where breast milk stored in the refrigerator for cooling, thawed, and heated, has a layer of yellow on top. The phenomenon of the baby vomiting immediately after drinking could be a clinical manifestation caused by changes in the milk. This kind of feeding is not very scientific. If it is really not convenient for this season, it is recommended to feed the baby with milk from the same day. In cases like this, if time does not permit, it is still better to use the formula milk prescribed for the baby's age.
