Patient's question:
I am a first-time mother, 28 years old, and currently breastfeeding. Could you please tell me why breast milk doesn't freeze?Doctor's answer:
The freezing point of each nutrient in breast milk varies, so when refrigerated, some may have already frozen while others have not. The freezing points of different breast milk components differ, so it may appear not frozen even if refrigerated for a short time. As long as the refrigeration time is long enough and the temperature in the refrigerated place is low enough, breast milk can be fully refrigerated. Some people believe that refrigerated breast milk does not freeze, which may be because the refrigeration time is not long enough, and during the refrigeration process, some parts freeze while others do not, making it seem as if it is not frozen.
