1. Storage: Make sure the cooked food is stored in an airtight container and refrigerated within two hours of cooking. It should be kept at a temperature below 40°F (4°C).
2. Reheating: When reheating, ensure the food reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill any potential bacteria.
3. Quality Check: Check for any signs of spoilage, such as unusual odor, texture, or color, before consuming the food.
4. Food Safety: It’s important to practice general food safety measures, especially while breastfeeding, to avoid any foodborne illnesses.
If you follow these guidelines, it should be safe for a breastfeeding mom to consume cooked food after 24 hours.
