Patient's question:
I am a first-time mother, 28 years old, and currently breastfeeding. May I ask what I can do with the breast milk I have expressed?Doctor's answer:
Expressed breast milk can be stored. To safely store the milk in the refrigerator, it is recommended to place the storage bag horizontally. Then, when the mom is out, she can feed the baby with the stored breast milk. First, take out the milk, warm it up, shake it well, and then give it to the baby. If the baby doesn't finish it, discard the remaining milk.It's also a good idea to use the milk for facial masks. Soak a facial mask sheet in the breast milk and use it as a mask. It is very nourishing for the skin, so it's not advisable to waste it.
