Human milk cannot be stored for too long at room temperature. It is best not to store it for more than 4 hours. If it is refrigerated in the refrigerator, it can be stored for about 2-4 days. If the room temperature may be too high, it may easily cause the milk to deteriorate. At this time, the baby cannot continue to be fed, so as not to cause indigestion and other problems and affect the baby's health.
If lactating women have a lot of milk, they should use a breast pump to suck it out in time to avoid milk accumulation in the breast ducts, which may cause mastitis in severe cases. Expressed milk can be kept at room temperature, but it is recommended to drink it as soon as possible. If it cannot be fed to the baby in time, it is better to put it in the refrigerator. Because any food has a shelf life, and breast milk is no exception.
