Expressed breast milk
  Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 3:11 am
Post subject: Expressed breast milk I'm a bit confused as to the guidelines online but how long can you store expressed milk in the fridge for? Also if I froze some, how do I defrost it? Can I just leave it in the fridge and use it when it's thawed or do I have to heat it?
Thanks muchly  _________________

to defrost leave overnight in the fridge but i have put it in warm water before if i needed it right then and its not fully defrosted. and then in boiling water to warm it. _________________

And like jenneve said - defrost for 24 hours in a fridge. They don't recommend deforsting quicker, but warming it slightly in warm water should be ok... just don't ever microwave it as it causes hot-spots where some milk boils and goes bad. x _________________
