Using Your Milk

Your breast milk does not necessarily need to be warmed up. Some moms prefer to take the chill off and serve it just a little warm, while others serve it cold.

• Thaw your frozen breast milk.

  • In the refrigerator.
  • Under running water – that is gradually warmed up, but NOT HOT.
  • In a cup or bowl of warm water (NOT HOT).

• Before anything else, make sure your breast milk is safe to use. If it smells sour, throw it out.

• Use thawed breast milk within 24 hours.

• Do not refreeze thawed breast milk.

• Gently swirl the container to redistribute the fat and even out the milk.
