Patient's question:
I am a new mother, 28 years old, and currently breastfeeding. Can breast milk that hasn't been expressed for 12 hours still be consumed?Doctor's answer:
The stored milk stays fresh. Colostrum (milk produced within 6 days postpartum) – 27–32°C room temperature can preserve for 12 hours. Mature milk (milk produced after 6 days postpartum) – 15°C room temperature can preserve for 24 hours. 19–22°C room temperature can preserve for 10 hours. 25°C room temperature can preserve for 6 hours.Storage in the refrigerator: 0–4°C refrigeration can preserve for 8 days. Storage in the freezer, but frequently opening and closing the door to take items, preservation period is 3-4 months.
