Breastfeeding mothers usually squeeze out and store fresh milk in advance to ensure that the baby can drink it at any time. However, many novice mothers often fall into a misunderstanding about breast milk thawing. In order to help you avoid unnecessary waste and heartache, here are some things about unfreezing breast milk!

Do not thaw directly with hot water.

Some mothers put frozen milk directly in hot water in order to thaw as soon as possible. Although this is fast, it is easy to lead to denaturation and inactivation of bioactive proteins in breast milk, thus destroying the nutrients in breast milk.

Don't heat it in the microwave oven.

Although microwave heating is convenient, it is easy to cause uneven heating and destroy the active substances in breast milk.

Thaw one night in advance

Thaw the milk in the freezer one night in advance to avoid destroying the original breast milk.

Warm water heating refrigerated milk

The breast milk taken from the cold room, together with the package, is soaked in warm water at 40℃ or thawed with flowing warm water. This can ensure that breast milk is heated evenly and retain nutrition to the greatest extent.

Don't throw it directly into hot water.

Don't throw breast milk directly into hot water when thawing, and slowly heat it up. After thawing, the breast milk is slightly heated to about 25℃, and it can be poured into the bottle for the baby to drink. If delamination is found, gently shake it evenly.
