How to store and use pumped breastmilk

[@kelsey1730]

So helpful! I am on my 4th baby, but have never pumped. I've watched several different videos and the question I kept having was "ok I get how to thaw, but how do I use milk from the fridge?" you are the only one that answered that in your video. Thank you so much!❤

[@bhagyasree1953]

My baby is 7 months old.. and I need to get back to work next month and i was searching for this content here and there... And finally got the information.... Very informative video.. with such a beautiful voice.... lots of love vidya❤️ ... most of ur videos helped me in one way or the other

[@shobana.j4722]

Hi Vidya..All your videos are just excellent. My baby girl is just one month old. Delivery was by c section. Everybody around me like my mother, grandma,sisters discouraged me saying ur milk will not be enough for your baby. Start giving formule milk or cow milk. But I dint give up. I have seen almost all ur videos. One of those was tips to increase breast milk supply. I was so motivated. U used a sentence,' trust ur body' which boosted me. I am giving only breast milk to my baby till today .Thanks a lot for such a encouraging video. Am so grateful to you as ur words motivated me at rit time😃 thanks a lot vidya!!!

[@Feelgoodmama]

That's so wonderful Shobana! I'm so happy to hear that you did not give up, thank you so much for sharing this :)

[@jayapriyadarshini1798]

My son is also one month old.I also faced such discouragements regarding breastmilk and still facing but I didn't given up like you. My son nowadays takes one and half hour and sometimes more while breastfeeding in night. How can I handle this and reduce the timing..

[@newmom7877]

Hi Vidya, have a couple of questions: 1) when did you introduce feeding bottles (with nipple) to your son? My son is 2 months old and occasionally when i feed him formula/expressed milk, i use a bottle with an attached spoon. 2) i would like to see what containers were you using to store the milk in the refrigerator/freezer to keep separate from the other items? 3) how would you keep sterilized equipment when not in use? Feeding bottles, pump, storage bottles? 4) currently I'm breastfeeding directly more often than bottle, how do i gauge the quantity so that i can plan to start storing accordingly? Look forward to your reply.

Once the milk is at room temperature, it is better to use it up within a few hours, and not refrigerate it again. You could thaw it slowly in the refrigerator if you're not sure if you'll use it all up. I kept a couple bags thawing in the fridge.

After warming the milk within how many hours should we consume

[@nancykrishna2857]

Hi, if freshly pumped breastmilk is kept at room temperature ( lower than 20 degrees) and warmed before feeding the baby. If baby doesn't complete the feed then can the left over milk be kept in the refrigerator and then used again by warming it? Another situation is if the baby doesn't complete the feed then this left over milk can it be warmed again to feed the baby in next couple of hrs?

[@fpsfreak4079]

Can I put in fridge asap after pumping? I put in cooler zip pack that came with the machine

[@Feelgoodmama]

I know how bad it feels to throw away precious breastmilk. I have read that scalding breastmilk (slightly heating) before freezing it, helps with the taste. But I think it reduces some of the benefits of breastmilk, you can have a look into it.
