Any mother wants her child to be healthy and strong. To do this, in the early stages, you should constantly breastfeed. However, few know how to store it correctly. At this time, the mother may face such problems as going to work, or simply need to be absent. Therefore, there must be a supply of milk.
Mom must first express her milk. If there are cracks on the nipple, you need to consult a doctor. Human milk differs from cow's milk in its fat content. Before expressing, you need to spread a hot towel on your chest, and then massage the mammary gland. And only after that start the process. You can express by hand or use a breast pump.
Human milk is much healthier than cow's milk and can be stored for a long time. It retains its beneficial properties, unlike infant formula. Therefore, it is recommended to breastfeed for as long as possible. The best options for storing milk are glassware or hard plastic. But the safest is a specialized bag made of dense quality material sold in the store. On it, you can indicate the time of expression and the name of the newborn.
Store at room temperature for about 10 hours. Therefore, you can leave the milk bottle indoors. The storage time in the freezer is up to three months, only in a deep-freeze chamber can it be up to six months. Now, if necessary, you can stock up on fortified milk for your baby for a long time and not use various formula for feeding.
