4 Signs That Expressed Breast Milk Is No Longer Safe to Drink

Here's the translation of the provided text while preserving the HTML tags: "Dream -\u00a0Expressing mother's breast milk (ASI) is a solution that many mothers use to stock up on milk. This is so that when the mother has to go out, the milk supply for the baby remains safe."

"Especially if the baby is still exclusively breastfeeding, which is from 0 to 6 months old.\u00a0 With the availability of expressed breast milk or EBM, fathers can also take the mother's place to give milk."

"When the mother is resting and the baby wakes up, breast milk can be given directly by the father. To store this breast milk, it must be kept in the refrigerator. If you want to store it for a long time, it is best to place it in a special freezer. Breast milk stored in the freezer can last for 3 to 6 months."

"In certain conditions, this breast milk supply may sometimes not be in good condition. It can be said to be contaminated with bacteria and no longer suitable for consumption. This may be due to improper storage, non-sterile packaging, or exposure to dirt. For that reason, it is important for parents to know the signs of breast milk that is no longer safe to drink. There are four signs to pay attention to."

"1. The aroma is unpleasant"

"Breast milk has a unique aroma, and many suspect that the aroma indicates it has gone bad. In fact, this is not always the case, as breast milk sometimes has an aroma that follows what the mother consumes."

"On the other hand, if the breast milk (ASIP) smells rancid and fishy, it could be a sign that the milk has gone bad. If you detect a very disturbing and unpleasant aroma, do not give it to the little one."

The translation of "2. ASI Menggumpal" to English is "2. Curdled Breast Milk".

"After being expressed and stored in the refrigerator, breast milk will appear to be divided into two layers. The upper layer has a thicker texture and is rich in fat. The lower layer will feel more watery."

In consumable breast milk, the two parts can still blend when the breast milk is thawed and then warmed. Meanwhile, in spoiled breast milk, the two parts will remain separated and clumpy. Both cannot be dissolved even if stirred.

"3. It Tastes Sour"

"When you smell an unpleasant aroma from breast milk, make sure to try it first before giving it to your little one. If the breast milk tastes sour or like spoiled food, it is best not to give it to the baby."

"This indicates that the expressed breast milk is no longer safe for consumption due to bacterial contamination. Dispose of it immediately and check other bottles. It could also be due to non-sterile packaging."

The translation of "4. Warnanya Berubah" to English is "4. The color changed."

For breast milk color, the normal is white or it can also be slightly yellowish. The color of the milk also depends on the composition of foremilk and hindmilk in it.

"The higher the content of foremilk (the milk that comes out at the beginning of a breastfeeding session), the whiter and more watery the milk will be. Conversely, the more hindmilk (milk that is high in fat), the yellower its color will be. For spoiled breast milk, there may be a change in color. It can appear more cloudy, darker, or look not fresh. Source: KlikDokter"
