Put breast milk squeezed multiple times together

Some mothers have plenty of milk after giving birth. Usually, after the baby drinks the milk, the excess milk needs to be sucked out, otherwise it will cause milk congestion in the mother's breasts. However, when sucking milk, sometimes the milk cannot be cleaned at one time and needs to be sucked several times. Can breast milk squeezed multiple times be stored together?

Can I store breast milk from multiple expressions together?

Breast milk expressed multiple times should not be put together because they were expressed at different times. The principle of breast milk storage is what is squeezed first and eaten first. Each time milk is expressed, it should be timed.

As long as they pay attention to safety and hygiene, mothers who breastfeed can also give their children the best breast milk. During the period of pumping milk, mothers should pay attention to nutrition and interact more with their children, which can help the secretion of breast milk and provide the child with adequate nutrition.

Can expressed milk be heated?

Breast milk contains a lot of enzymes. If heated, the enzymes will be inactivated and will not help the baby prevent disease. It is best to give it to the baby directly or immediately. Don't heat it if you must. It is better not to heat it, as heating may destroy the nutrients in breast milk. You can rinse the milk container in running hot water for a few minutes to allow the breast milk to reach room temperature, or soak it in a basin of hot water to raise the temperature. Breast milk contains oil, so after heating it needs to be gently shaken to mix it evenly before feeding, but do not shake it vigorously!

Refrigerating and then heating the milk after expressing it may destroy the nutrients in the breast milk, and heating it again is not advisable. When mothers feel their babies are hungry, it is best to use milk powder. If you really want to use this method, you need to estimate the amount for the baby and do not heat it too much to cause waste. At the same time, do not heat it, just soak it in hot water.
