Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, I am a new mother. I just had a baby and am always in a rush these days. I am breastfeeding, and I want to know how long breast milk can last at a constant temperature of 45 degrees Celsius if it is not refrigerated.Doctor's answer:
In general, the storage conditions for breast milk are as follows: If stored in a milk storage bag, it should be kept at 20-30 degrees Celsius for no more than 4 hours, at 4 degrees Celsius for no more than 48 hours, and at -15 to -5 degrees Celsius for up to 6 months. If it can only be stored for 4 hours at 20-30 degrees Celsius, then at 45 degrees Celsius, it is not recommended to store it. You can place it in the refrigerator promptly and heat it when the child is ready to drink. I hope my answer helps you. Thank you.
