ChouQin Packaging shares knowledge on storage and heating of breast milk

For mothers who store breast milk, it is very important to have the correct storage knowledge to ensure that the baby can drink healthy nutrition. Today, the manufacturer of ChouQin breast milk storage bags has compiled some knowledge about breast milk storage and freezing and heating, hoping to help mothers answer their questions .

Everyone knows that breast milk is the best food for babies, and breast milk contains a lot of active substances, such as probiotics, antibacterial factors, and immunity-enhancing substances. Although mothers cannot feed them by themselves, we can still refrigerate and freeze them so that babies can drink breast milk.

And studies have shown that in breast milk frozen within three months, vitamins A, E, B and most of the nutrients are preserved, so it is still the best food source for babies compared to mothers who can’t feed them.

1. The best time to store breast milk
There are three principles for breast milk storage, which means that freshly expressed breast milk can be stored for 3 hours at room temperature, 3 days in refrigeration, and 3 months in freezing. This is the best time to drink breast milk.

2. How to store breast milk
At present, breast milk storage on the market is basically milk storage bottles and milk storage bags.
The milk storage bottle is mainly used for the refrigeration of breast milk. Unlike the milk bottle, the milk storage bottle contains a gasket in the nipple position, which is mainly used for sealing. Remind everyone, don't store it directly in a baby bottle! This is not up to the storage standard.

Best freezer bags for breast milk are mainly used for breast milk freezing. Mothers should choose bags to freeze breast milk that can be marked with the date and the number of milliliters. Time to use.

3. How to heat breast milk
For convenience, some mothers put breast milk in the microwave to heat, which is absolutely undesirable. If the temperature is too high, many nutrients in breast milk will be lost.

Moreover, the microwave oven cannot evenly warm the liquid, and some parts of the milk in the container will be too hot, which is dangerous for the baby.

The correct approach should be this:
Refrigerated breast milk: Place the bottle in warm water or use a milk warmer to heat it up until the breast milk temperature reaches the right level. Don't heat it directly!

Frozen breast milk: bags to freeze breast milk must be thawed first, and can be thawed in the cold storage. After the breast milk is dissolved, it is heated with warm water or a milk warmer. After thawing, breast milk must be consumed within 24 hours. If it is not consumed, it should not be frozen for storage.

For a baby, there is no food comparable to mother's breast milk. Although sometimes mothers cannot breastfeed, we can use scientific storage methods so that the baby can still be immersed in the breast milk of love.
