11367320 tn?1421799959 I Put It In The Fridge For Later On Till I Go To See Her But I Was Wondering For How Long Is Breast Milk Good (When U Put It in The Fridge) To Feed Your Baby?
Avatar f tn Fresh milk can be in the fridge 4-6 days and frozen thawed milk can be in the fridge 24 hours. These are the milk storage guidelines from the LLL.
3054705 tn?1348415479 If u freeze you milk in milk bags I believe its good for a year. To unfreeze your milk heat up a cup of water not to hot! And place the bag in the cup to unfreeze. I lovedfreezing my milk because u can store it away for along time. And take it on the go .
Avatar f tn And anyway breast milk has its own enzymes that kill bacteria, currently guidelines are that warm soapy water is enough no need to sterilize
Avatar n tn I have read in some articles that breast milk takes between 500-800 calories to produce. I tried adding calories to my diet and gained 10 pounds in 12 days. That can't be right. So I cut back and am no stuck at 57 pounds over weight, according to this app I am burning far more then I take in and yet I can't loose. At all. What am I doing wrong! I'm about to give up if I can't win even a small battle!!!
Avatar f tn If you're super worried they also sell test strips to test your milk to make sure there's no alcohol in it.
Avatar f tn You should talk to your doctor about guidelines to follow if you drink while breastfeeding, alcohol can be transmitted through breast milk although I am not sure how long it stays in the system for. Usually one would do what is called 'pump and dump' where you express milk and just dump it so that baby doesn't ingest it but I'm not sure how long you would need to do that for until you can feed again.
Avatar f tn My little girl wS born last Sunday and latly since a few days ago Iv noticed the milk I'm feeding her doesn't fill her up my doc apoitment is on Monday idk what to do for now she keeps waking up hungry and I'm not trying to feed her before her time
1661682 tn?1313135396 so ive got a breast pump just in case but i was wondering if breast milk can go in the firdge and get warmed up when its needed and if it can go in the fridge how long can it stay in there for.
2207301 tn?1340990867 I did find at Babies R US they have test strips that you can test your breast milk to see if the alcohol levels are low and safe for you to feed that milk to your baby. It's what I plan on doing, I got pregnant 2 months after I turned 21 and my hubby turns 21 next year and I wanna be able to drink with him but I will be breastfeeding.
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!
Avatar m tn Hi This week I was at a nail salon for a post birth treat. While filing my nail the nail tech made a small cut in my finger which bled slightly. She later put nail polish and primer onto my nails and I felt the acetone primer thing sting the little cut. My questions are basically can I get hep c from: 1. Any of the liquids if any of them contained traces is blood from someone previous with a similar cut 2.
Avatar n tn But in some situations like acute or chronic infections or systemic disorders which affects pathologically may need some prescriptive drugs,but those drugs are chosen on the basis of Safety usage of drugs in pregnant women and risk of infantile affects of drugs in breast feeding mothers,postulated by FDA.
10630314 tn?1416009207 You should definitely talk to your doctor or even get in touch with your local le leche league to answer all your questions (just Google it). You can formula feed and breast feed but a lot if times baby won't want the breast milk anymore from what I've heard if you do that. and you can pump and save the milk but either way you'd have to pump quite often to have enough for what baby needs on a daily basis.
Avatar f tn My granddaughter is one-month-now weighs 8 pounds - has been diagnosed with Gerd, milk allergy - however, I think it is the case that she has been getting two much formula from day one - she is now on 35 ounces (and being increased) of formula a day - is now on hypoallergenic formula and THREE medications. This is way over the amount of formula recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics - and anywhere else. My daughter has been told to "just stay the course" by her pediatrician.
Avatar f tn So I've read on here that a lot of insurance companies cover breast pumps now. So long story short I have Medicaid bc I am considered part time at my job so insurance isn't offered, and I called today to see if one would be covered because a good one is so expensive and they told me it's covered if you're under 21! I'm 25! That is ridiculous! Why in the world would they have an age restriction on getting a breast pump!
Avatar f tn mothers do at least some breast-feeding for six months, but only 12 percent follow government guidelines recommending that babies receive only breast milk for six months. Dr. Larry Gray, a University of Chicago pediatrician, called the analysis compelling and said it's reasonable to strive for 90 percent compliance.
Avatar f tn When will you start to get milk in your breast? I am 31 weeks and have yet to get mine, it makes me nervous cause I plan on breast feeding.
5612058 tn?1373576034 Enough wet and poopy diapers and if the baby is thriving. Breastfeeding is a supply and demand thing so just let baby eat and you will produce enough. Make sure you drink water and stay hydrated.
Avatar f tn since u cannot take medication cuz of breast feeding, maybe you could freeze some milk and have the surgery since that is all that will help or just plain medication, or you may have to wait till your done feeding, and have surgery or take mild pain meds, because i had it and it is painful after surgery too. so you will need to be on medicaion.
Avatar f tn When do breast milk starts coming out the breast I had my baby on the 29th no milk still
Avatar f tn But the amout tranfered via breast milk is very small. I had my kids tested just to ease my nerves and there thyroid functions remained normal through out breast feeding (BF each one, 1 and 1/2 years). The pediatrition said they usually dont monitor kids BF with mother using PTU cause the amount is so small. Pregnancy and postpartum AND breastfeeding can alter your thyroid levels. unless you are experiencing major health issues I would not jump into TT.
Avatar f tn No its not milk yet its the beginning stages of milk lol not sure what's the correct term for it honestly when I first saw it I was freaking out I didn't know I was pregnant and it was my first child but you will get a little of leaking of that stuff if u don't want in on ur bra you can buy breast pads congratulations
