Need help for storing and using mother's milk

Remove milk using the Breast pump ( manual - hand will pain pumping time and Machine is easy but little expensive).

Keep the covered bottle in Fridge and use it within 4 hours.
Remove from fridge and warm and give it to baby (Use milk warmer and milk warmer is available in big stores and pharmacy or use microwave)

BREAST MILK IS BEST FOR KIDS

 

Hi Anitha

Congratulations ……welcome to motherhood.
About breast pump…..I suggest you to use Semi-Electric or Electric breast pump….manual pumps needs lot of patience and practice.
About storing breast milk……after extracting breast milk, you can store it in room temperature (ie 26-27 degree C) for about four hours. If you want to store for more than four hours you can use the fridge…don’t store breast milk in the fridge door. You need to store it on back of the fridge (near the light) where it’s very cool. You can use this milk for 24 hours. Research says you can even store breast milk for weeks or months in the freezer..(you can google it..I am just telling you what I use to do)
Make sure you use glass bottle not plastic ones when you store the breast milk in fridge…Reason: When you warm the milk glass is better than plastic. Never ever ever use microwave to warm breast milk….it kills all the nutrients and creates hot spots. The best way is to heat some water in stove or microwave (not too hot) and put the breast milk bottle in it…till it becomes warm.
NEVER REUSE THE BREAST MILK …..once you have taken it out of fridge and warmed it….it should not be refrigerated again…hence take care about the quantity when you warm the milk.
Cheers
