Breastfeed
Hi Dr.,
As I'm a working mother and is breastfeeding my 8month old boy baby, I wish to express my milk and give it to my baby when I'm away..
Kindly, advice how long can expressed milk sit at room temperature?,
Can I offer the same milk again once or twice after baby refuses to take?,
Do I need to refrigerate the once offered milk before giving it for the next time?
Can I feed baby the same breast milk that has not been expressed, say like after 8hrs or more?
Do I need to refrigerate the expressed milk before giving it to the baby?.
Requesting for a reply at the earliest as it's a much awaiting problem.
Thankyou,
Jeny.
