How is breast milk generally thawed and heated?

Patient's question:

How should I store breast milk for my baby? What kind of container should I use? Also, how should I thaw it after taking it out for the best results?

Doctor's answer:

Frozen breast milk cannot be heated directly. It should be thawed in the refrigerator for 12 hours, or open the hot water valve and continuously rinse the frozen breast milk container with 60°C warm water, or heat the container with 60°C warm water inside. After thawing, breast milk placed in the refrigerator must be consumed within 24 hours, otherwise it must be discarded.
Room temperature: 25°C~37°C: 4 hours, 19°C~22°C: 10 hours, 15°C: 24 hours
