Do Not Immediately Store Expressed Breast Milk in the Freezer, Its Nutritional Content Drops Drastically

Dream - Pumping or expressing breast milk becomes a routine activity for working mothers or those who have to leave the house for a long time. As much as possible, ensure an adequate supply of breast milk for the little one, especially for those who are exclusively breastfed.

Often, because we want to stock up on breast milk, we want to put it directly in the freezer to freeze it and make it last longer. Many pumping moms don't know that it's better not to do that.

Quoted from KlikDokter, the quality of expressed breast milk directly entering the freezer can decrease. Sudden changes in the temperature of expressed breast milk can cause damage to its nutritional content.

After being pumped or expressed, breast milk tends to be warm or follows the mother's body temperature. When it is immediately placed in an extremely cold freezer, its active substances can die instantly.

"How to Properly Store Breast Milk"

"For pumped breast milk storage, there are several methods depending on when you want to provide the breast milk to your little one. Here is the guide:"

The translated text in English while preserving any html tags is: "The freshly pumped breast milk can be left at room temperature for a while if planning to give it to the baby or store it. Mother's milk from both breasts can be mixed and stored as long as it is expressed at the same time. At room temperature up to 25 degrees Celsius, breast milk can be safely used for up to 4 hours after pumping. If stored in a refrigerator, expressed breast milk can last for about 4-5 days. When stored in a cooler box, breast milk can last for up to 24 hours. The stored breast milk in the freezer (below 0 degrees Celsius) can last for 6-12 months."

Similarly, when thawing frozen breast milk, it is best not to immediately remove and thaw it at room temperature. Improperly stored expressed breast milk can be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or even parasites that can make the baby sick.

Besides, the breast milk can be less effective in meeting the nutritional needs that babies require for their growth and development process. Don't forget to always use special breast milk storage containers such as breast milk bags or glass bottles for clean breast milk. Always pay attention to the correct preparation, storage, and thawing methods of breast milk to prevent contamination and ensure its nutritional value is always maintained. Source: KlikDokter
