The preservation of breast milk is mainly related to the tools and the environment in which it is preserved, and the specific time of preservation. When storing breast milk, you should choose the right storage tools, generally in small packages of special milk storage bags is the best, you can also use thoroughly washed and sterilized bottles for storage. If it is only stored for a short time, it can be stored at room temperature, it can be stored for one day in an environment below 15, and only 4-6 hours when it is more than 20.

If it needs to be stored for a long time, it should be stored in a separate small bag in the refrigerator or freezer compartment for 5-7 days at a temperature of 0-4. If stored in a sub-zero environment, it can be stored for about two weeks, stored at minus 18-20, and can be stored for 3-6 months. When storing breast milk, the storage time should be marked on each bag, and when the child is fed, it should be fed in the order in which it was stored.

Specifically, the amount of breast milk in the bottle or bag should not exceed 3 4 of the volume of the container, and the air inside the bag should be squeezed out when it is sealed.

3. Refrigeration should be placed in the right place: Refrigerated breast milk should be placed in the refrigerator near the inner wall, not on the storage compartment on the inside of the refrigerator door.
