1661682 tn?1313135396 You can store breastmilk in the fridge for a few days, you can freeze it for 5-6 months. Freshly expressed milk is safe at room temperature for a few hours as long as it is in a sealed container. If you freeze it you should let it thaw in the refrigerator over night. To heat it up you would need to use hot water. DO NOT microwave it, this destroys the nutrients in it. I always filled a mug with really hot water and set the bottle in it until it was warm.

Avatar f tn How much does breast milk last outside at room temperature,freezer and fridge?
Avatar f tn Fresh pumped milk can be in the fridge for 6 days, thawed frozen milk needs to be used within 24 hours. Fresh pumped milk can be in room temperature for 6 hours. You never want to heat breast milk in the microwave. It destroys the nutrients. You want to heat it in a bowl of warm water. Most babies won't drink it cold, so around body temperature is good.
Avatar m tn I am not sure if his fingers were cut or had precum. My question is due to the high temperature in the Steam Room. If this person was HIV+ could I RECEIVE HIV in a very warm temperature environment. There was no other interaction with this person. Am I at risk for contracting HIV? Please comment. Thank you for your time and consideration.
621803 tn?1302888341 t have enough room in the bottles now for my second session, since I usually get at least 5 oz out of that pumping session. Is it ok if I store the extra milk TEMPORARILY (about 3-4 hours) in a water bottle? Or can the BPA in the bottle leak into the milk that fast? I hate to waste a pumping session, since I'm trying to build back up my freezer supply, but I of course don't want to make any of the milk unhealthy.

Avatar f tn U actually freeze breast milk in special bags made for storage
Avatar f tn Our hospital hands out flyers with breast feeding and milk storage tips when you leave the hospital. I breastfeed but my little one didnt take a bottle so i cant help you with the tips! There are lots of guidelines though like how long in the fridge and or freezer and how long at room temp!
266539 tn?1281402152 Freezing does take away some of the nutrient value in breast milk, but that doesn't mean that you have to avoid it altogether. I use ice cube trays to freeze milk into 1 ounce cubes. Then when the tray is full (14 cubes in the trays I use), I put the cubes in a vacuum sealed bag. I am currently using the ziploc vacuum seal bags, they work great. My little one is 7 weeks old and usually goes through about 10 ounces of milk at day care a day (he is there from 7am - 5pm).
Avatar f tn I pumped nd stored sum breast milk in the refrigerator nd forgot to label the date I think its been in there a lil over a week my son has his doc app tomorrow nd I shall be given it to him then will it be still safe or should I throw it out??
Avatar f tn Articles may be labeled for storage at “controlled room temperature” or at “up to 25 deg C”, or other wording based on the same mean kinetic temperature. The mean kinetic temperature is a calculated value that may be used as an isothermal storage temperature that simulates the nonisothermal effects of storage temperature variations.
Avatar f tn The difference between our breast milk is it's warm. It's coming from our body our body temp is what keeps the milk warm.room temperature can sometimes be cold.
Avatar f tn I started at 4 month to have breast milk dripping nd now is none stop coming out any one has this happening 2????
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.

7923170 tn?1412999504 Soo were on a very short budget and I want to breast feed to help with costs n not to mention its healthy for baby and me... My biggest concern is how to store the breast milk. I have an idea to use jelly jars my gram uses to freeze her strawberry jelly she makes... But I don't know if they would bust... I don't plan on filling them to the very tippie top.
Avatar f tn I'm doing research about storage for breast milk. I want something that's cost effective and will work. I'm not looking to create a huge stash of frozen milk because I don't have the space in my freezer nor do I have a deep freeze (yay apartment living). I have looked into the disposable bags. What a money sink. Plus the reviews I read do not put much faith into me using them. I came across a mom's blog about using mason jars.
