milk

Avatar f tn So I pump a little extra milk to give to my boy while breastfeeding thru a dropper trying to help him gain some weight but my question is I know milk is good at room temp like 10 hrs but I noticed it starts to seperate... Is that okay?
Avatar f tn How much does breast milk last outside at room temperature,freezer and fridge?
Avatar f tn Ok thank you
Avatar n tn I looked it up for you.
Avatar f tn How long can breast milk stay refrigerated before it can no longer be given to a baby?
Avatar f tn As far as Breast milk, never feed her twice from the same Bottle. Milk is only good up to 2 hours at room temperature. 48 hours in the refrigerator and 6 months in the Freezer. If you are going to Freeze your Breast milk, thaw it in the refrigerator completely before you heat it, or it will look clumpy and unappealing.
9771234 tn?1405793808 I never warmed milk or formula. At most I would thaw frozen breast milk under hot running water and just use room temp water for formula. My reason for doing it like that is so baby doesn't get accustomed to only drinking warm milk.
Avatar f tn Depends on the baby. My first and third refused to take their milk at room temp I had to warm theirs, but my second child was happy with it this way. I wouldn't give it cold out the fridge and you can't store formula at room temp once it is made, so I would put the boiling water in the bottles and allow to cool to room temp and I had a little sectioned tupper ware which I could keep 3 bottles worth of measured powder in, so I added this when we were ready for it.
Avatar f tn Don't put the milk in the bottles to take out, keep it in the carton and then pour in the milk you need to the bottle. Pour the rest of the milk into another bottle and put it in a chiller bag.
Avatar f tn Breast milk is awesome as it can be left at room temp for i think like 10 hours (room temp)(im sure thats what i had read... its been a couple years) so its really easy to take along with you if you are uncomfortable feeding in public as you can just leave it a room temp and feed... but you cant microwave as it damages something in it (sorry i cant remember specific) so if i needed to warm it i took a thermos of hot water to set it in the thermos lid with water to warm...

Avatar f tn The website for LLLI, is very helpful they even give you hours on how long you can use your breast milk if you keep it at room temp. Which is 6 to 8 hrs. Or if you keep in the fridge. So i suggest to look up the site and i think you'll find it very helpful for what you are looking into.
9020620 tn?1409884412 Ik it can sit out for 4-6 hrs at room temp and be refrigerated for I think up to 5 days?
Avatar f tn Should I warm up my baby bottle he only 6days old or should I leave it room temp
446156 tn?1275859576 However, did you know that breastmilk is good at room temp for several hours? During the day, my milk was good at room temp for 5-8 hours (depending on season and how warm room temp was). At night, when we let the house get cool, my milk stayed good for 10 to 12 hours at room temp. Everyone's milk is different. Just give it a sniff- trust me, you'll know if the milk is bad. Plus, my lactation consultant told me that a baby wouldn't drink bad milk.
3106038 tn?1346813169 I read that 5 is the magic number for breast milk. 5 hours at room temp, 5 days in the fridge and 5 in the freezer. I'd double check as I wasn't able to beast feed my 11 month old. Just carry a small cooler. Put it in a bottle with reusable ice packs. I will say that you HAVE to wait until you have a steady milk supply or you'll dry up slowly!
Avatar f tn U actually freeze breast milk in special bags made for storage
Avatar f tn But if its been out then can it be put in the fridge and used later?
435139 tn?1255460391 I used mine...I used it mostly to take the chill off of my expressed breast milk that had been in the freezer and thawed in the fridge. When we switched to formula, I made each bottle fresh at room temp and it was good enough. My best friend's daughter wanted her bottles warm though so she wound up having to buy a travel warmer for her car.
8526246 tn?1405601876 How long after pumping is breast milk good for without refrigerating or do I have to refrigerate right away? I want to pump and feed without having to refrigerate and thaw but not sure if its not ok to do so.
10678677 tn?1413254266 i had a clogged milk ducket....now my left breast hurts just to touch it an it feels full but when i pump nothing really comes out an when i "squeeze it" "like a cow" it just drips ... i really dont wanna go back to the hospital but my temp is 101.....
Avatar f tn Whaaaaaat? I have never heard that lol. Smells like bs to me.
1080032 tn?1326414386 After pumping can I leave my breast milk sitting out if my daughter will be eating 2hrs later? I don't have a bottle Warner so I would hate to put it in the fridge.
