A. Storing breast milk properly is crucial to maintaining its quality and ensuring your baby's safety. Here are guidelines for storing and using breast milk in India: 1. **Storage Containers:** Use BPA-free containers, glass, or special breast milk storage bags. Label each container with the date to ensure you use the oldest milk first. 2. **Refrigeration:** Freshly expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days at temperatures of 0–4 degrees Celsius (32–39.2 degrees Fahrenheit). 3. **Freezing:** If you want to store breast milk for a longer period, freeze it. Breast milk can be stored in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator for up to 6 months. In a deep freezer, it can be stored for up to 12 months. 4. **Thawing:** Thaw frozen breast milk by placing it in the refrigerator overnight or by holding it under warm running water. Avoid using a microwave, as it can heat unevenly and destroy some of the milk's nutritional content. 5. **Room Temperature:** Freshly expressed breast milk can be left at room temperature for up to 4 hours (at 25 degrees Celsius or 77 degrees Fahrenheit). Always follow proper hygiene practices, and if you're unsure about the safety or quality of stored breast milk, consult with your healthcare provider. Additionally, never refreeze thawed breast milk.
