Dear Isabel . Thanks alot you really helped me understanding and rethinking of using breast feeding pump , the most thing that i love while watching your videos is how simple you explain clearly you tell . Big Thumbs 👍🏽

This was so helpful! I have a one week old and have had trouble with latching so I've been pumping and tryingt to figure out the best storage solutions.

[@rodelizalacaba5455]

Thank you for this very informative video😊 I am expecting mom in 2024 and kinda worried if I will have enough breastmilk as my sisters have experienced difficulties. I wanna do my best for my very 1st baby so I am trying to learn from now.

[@haley77711]

I thought this too when I was pregnant but when I was finally full term, I decided to pump to get that colostrum and so I worked for it. I messaged my breasts before and during the pumping process. I had nothing on my first day of trying but I kept going anyway and eventually baby was born about a week later and it was difficult to pump some out at the hospital but at least I had some colostrum i had already pumped before going into labor. I did have to use formula while staying there and that’s okay because soon as I got home I was on my pump and have been pumping every 3-4 hours including in the nights just so my supply continues to go up. I have a 10 day old baby girl now :)) and have 28oz in da fridge

Thank you so much for the advice! I have been obsessively watching videos and then asking my doctor a million questions. Although my GYN said that it is fine to lightly shake the milk to mix the fat back in.

Just had a question, why is it not recommended to shake the milk to mix the fat in? I don’t see the difference of shaking it and stirring it, it’s all getting mixed together regardless

[@emmyBsims]

Why can’t you shake the milk? I always do 😢

[@karimamerchant3777]

I heard it forms bubbles in milk when shaken and makes baby gassy

This is a very nice summary of the topic. Informative and to the point. I do have a question about timing the breastmilk. If I start pumping at 3pm and finish at 3:45, which time would my 4 hours at room temperature start from?

Thank you for watching & for your feedback! From the 3:45 time

[@SudheerK93]

Hello very useful info. I have a doubt. am freezing my milk and if its due around2:00PM. i am taking the milk around 12:00PM and keeping it in refrigerator. When the time is around 1:00PM .I am taking the milk out that is room temp and giving it to the baby. If some milk is left, can i keep it again in the refrigerator? If so, in how many hours I have to use it? Awaiting your reply

[@Sillyerra]

Why Stirred and not Shaken?

[@KS-cl8br]

s the manual Madela better than the hakka

[@brandilionn]

when storing milk in the fridge, do you count the day pumped as a day? for example if i pump on 4/12 is the milk good til 4/15 or 4/16? Cause 4/12-4/15 is 72 hours, but 2/12-4/16 is 96 hours. 4 days is 96 hours but i feel confused lol

[@rosalindaorozco9339]

I have a question so if I take frozen milk from the freezer at 2pm and it doesn’t defrost till 2am does the 24hrs start from 2am? I’m just trying to get a better understanding the next question is if I thaw the breastmilk in warm water the whole bag is not good any more after 4hrs? What if I only use a portion of that and leave the other half for the next feeding? I have also pumped left it in the fridge for a few hours then froze it later that night because it was never used is that not ok? Sorry for all the questions just wondering

[@biblestudywithinez]

Hi! just as suggestion to check with a lactation consultant to get your questions answered. I had a lot of complicated questions too and a lactation consultant really helped.

[@Josey168]

You can mix the milk, it won’t change anything about the milk

[@eprohoda]

what a cool !sIabel!

[@rupasingla9494]

Please suggest I usually keep my breast milk in insulin box at home coz sometimes my baby sleep more than 4 hour or not finish the whole bottle

[@jamiebrown2543]

My frozen milk is in breast milk bags in frozen ziplock bags is that good ? Can’t afford a bunch of containers

[@dancingThePasion]

Why can’t you shake the milk but can mix it?

[@mariiatereshchenko7598]

It creates bubbles inside the milk that can upset baby's stomach

[@joedhyleveniceluciano3299]

Maam how many minutes to warn the breast milk?thank you

[@Freddo016]

When you thaw breast milk in the fridge. Once it’s thawed can I combine milk from different dates? Like one from one day and one from a week later?

[@jaydee5638]

Im pretty sure She said refrigerated breastmilk is only good for four days, so I wouldn’t use it from a week ago unless it’s in the freezer

[@Freddo016]

@@jaydee5638 that what I mean. If it’s been frozen and then thawed in fridge. So a frozen bag from the 2nd and a frozen back from the 10th.. if they have been thawed at same time in the fridge, can I mix them together for one bottle.

[@africanmermaid234]

Yes you can mix your milk.

Hello, why can't you shake the fat with the rest of the milk?

[@isabelfaith]

Hi, shaking the fat could potentially damage the protein in the Breastmilk.

[@BenandLilly2906]

I just watched a video where someone (a dr) said this is a myth.

[@miissgirlll]

I seen other videos saying it’s okay to shake I’m now unsure 🫤

Hey Isabel. I had stored my breast milk in storage bags in the freezer but since last night we didn’t have electricity so it has all thawed. How long will it last?

[@morissaaddakai5858]

Question: My son is 2 weeks old and immediately, I was told to start pumping after each feeding. But only end up with 1 tbsp - 0.5oz, I didn't want to be storing milk in a freezer bag with less than an 0.5 oz or less. What I did is store it in the refrigerator and add all my small pours until it reached an 1 oz. Is this wrong? And why?? How will it harm my baby?

[@tradio8568]

Thank you so much for that concise explaination ma'am...I confidently trust myself to do pumping while at work👍

[@beckyhammond5869]

What if you pump 1oz then pump again in the next 2 hours another 1-2oz can you mix the different milk from the side or do you need to refrigerate both first or can you mix what's been sitting on the side? X

[@SophiNiki]

Thank you for your video. How about freezing milk that was in cool room temperature for 2-4 hr- can you still freeze it?
