Working mothers or mothers who have to leave their baby to someone because they have a random job and have to go out can express their milk and go out easily. So how long can this milk stay out intact? How should we store expressed milk? As Elmaelma.com, we have researched for you how to protect your milk when you have to express your milk when you have a job or when you have a job. Here’s what you should pay attention to!
STORAGE CONTAINERS ARE VALUABLE
Storage containers used to keep breast milk intact are of great value. If you want to preserve your milk without spoiling, you can store it in a glass jar or storage bag.
STERILIZE CONTAINERS
Wash all modules of the container you use to store milk adequately in boiling water with soap. Then wait for it to dry.
YOU CAN STORE 3 MONTHS IN THE DEEP FREEZER
You can store expressed breast milk at room temperature, in the refrigerator or in the deep freezer. If you keep the breast milk at room temperature (19-26°C) it can be stored for 3 hours, if you keep it in the refrigerator (0-4°C) for 3 days, if you keep it in the deep freezer (-18°C) it can be stored for 3 months.
BEWARE!
If you have kept breast milk at room temperature for 3 hours, you can quickly give it to your baby. But if your milk has been kept in the freezer, you should definitely put it in the refrigerator before giving it to the baby. Another important point you should know is that you should not refreeze the milk that you have removed from the deep freezer and thawed.
