Once you are a parent it becomes your priority to take care of your baby and all his needs in every possible way. Feeding on time, taking proper care of their health, maintaining cleanliness, taking them outside to refresh them and every other thing which makes them comfortable are somethings all parents need to do. All babies should only be havign milk till they are 6 months and ideally should be breastfed. After that, solids should be introduced to them but for the first six months, they only need milk. So if you are a homemaker then it is not a big deal for you but if you are a working mother then here a little difficulty arises. You are left with the option of storing your milk in your refrigerator. Many pumping devices are available in the market; you can pump your milk out and store at room temperature or in your fridge and instruct the caretaker to feed that milk timely. At room temperature breast milk can last up to 4 hours, beyond that time if it is kept then it will harm your baby and in the refrigerator, you can store the milk up to 2 to 3 days.
Your baby may feel the difference in taste in the stored one, and often he rejects that milk. Babies prefer to have luke warm milk to feed on. Scientifically it should be just below your body temperature i.e. 98.6 F. You can neither heat the breast milk directly on the stove nor microwave it. Microwave usually destroys micronutrients present in the milk and it also doesn’t heat the milk uniformly. So you can have the option of the bottle warmer. Bottle warmers also come in handy once the baby starts drinking cow’s milk after turning 1.
