Accepted Answer

Hello dear parent! If you are freezing your expressed breastmilk then it will stay good for 5 to 6 hours before thawing. If you are storing it in air tight container just normal outside then it will stay good for a couple of hours depending on the surroundings temperature. Try using Babyhug stainless steel feeder to feed breastmilk for your baby. Consult your child’s doctor for advice.
