How many degrees can breast milk be warmed above? Can frozen breast milk be thawed with hot water?

Many mothers, because they are not with their babies, usually squeeze out breast milk and put it in a storage bag for easy storage in order to solve the problem of feeding their babies. They will take it out when the baby wants to drink.

The temperature of warm breast milk should not exceed 56 degrees. The best temperature for warm breast milk is 40-45 degrees. If the weather is cold, the temperature can be increased appropriately.

When heating breast milk, mothers need to be careful not to use water that is too hot, because high temperature will destroy the nutrients in breast milk. Generally, it is suitable to heat breast milk with water within 50 degrees. Because after 56 degrees Celsius, the nutrients in breast milk will be destroyed. The activity of type A immunoglobulins and enzymes will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when heating breast milk, you must pay attention to the temperature and do not exceed it. It will not be good for the baby to eat.

No. Usually expressed breast milk is stored in the freezer because it can be stored for a longer time. Then heat it up when the baby wants to eat it. If the frozen breast milk is not cold and is directly thawed in hot water, the nutrients in the breast milk will be destroyed, and it may cause gastrointestinal problems in the baby, such as diarrhea. Frozen breast milk should be heated in a milk warmer before feeding it to the baby, but it should not be heated for a long time.

When thawing frozen breast milk, you should first rinse the sealed bag with cold water, then gradually add hot water until the breast milk is completely thawed and reaches a suitable feeding temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to slowly thaw and defrost. The key points to note when heating the milk storage bag after thawing are: the milk storage bag should first be thawed in running cold water, and then placed in water no higher than 60 degrees to heat it. After heating, shake it well and feed it to the baby. Do not use boiling water or microwave to heat it to prevent a large loss of nutrients in the breast milk.

After the breast milk is squeezed out, it needs to be sealed and stored, otherwise bacteria may grow. And whether it is refrigerated breast milk or frozen breast milk, there will be problems with storage and heating.

Parenting experts recommend that breast milk should be stored in special containers, such as breast milk storage bags or breast milk storage cups. Each bag (bottle) of breast milk should be marked with the time it was expressed, at least accurately to "morning" or "afternoon", so that when it is reheated for the baby to eat, the first one to be expressed can be eaten first. Breast milk storage should be taken seriously, if the method is not correct, it will destroy the nutrients in it.

It is best not to use microwaves to heat breast milk. First, it is not easy to heat evenly, and the baby is likely to eat "yin and yang milk"; second, experts from all sides have different opinions on whether microwaves will destroy vitamins. Fire is also not suitable for heating breast milk because the temperature is too high and will destroy nutrients. If the room temperature does not exceed 25 degrees, it can be stored for 6-8 hours. Refrigeration: 24 hours in a single-door refrigerator, 72 hours in a double-door refrigerator. Freezing: 2 weeks in a single door, 2 months in a double door, and 6 months in an independent freezer. 2 hours at room temperature, 24 hours in the refrigerator, and 3-6 months in the freezer. (If you eat frozen food, it is best to give it to a baby under three months old). When eating, heat it in water and only heat it once.
