#AskTheExpert how long can be expressed breast milk used? please give an idea about storage and usage of expressed breast milk. please give an advice regarding feeding of 6 month old baby, as I have to go to office daily. what are the best things that can be fed?

A. breastmilk can be well stored In room temperature for 4-6 hours. But it's good to consume within 4 hours. That's safe. In fridge you can store upto 4-5 days. And in freezer you can store upto two weeks. It's absolutely safe. To feed heat a bowl with water and over that place another bowl with stored milk and heat it for few mins say 2-3 mins. Store breast milk in bottles made of glass or hard plastic with tight-fitting lids. Don't store milk in disposable bottle liners.
