00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Storage of expressed breastmilk. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn- how to store expressed breastmilk safely for later use. |
00:14 | Let us begin. Expressing breastmilk has many benefits for the baby and the mother. |
00:21 | Expressing breastmilk by hand is explained in another tutorial in the same series. |
00:29 | Expressed breastmilk must be handled and stored safely. |
00:34 | Doing so, will maintain its high quality for the baby. |
00:39 | Before handling breastmilk, Mother should wash her hands with soap and water and dry them properly. |
00:46 | To store breastmilk, Mother should use steel or glass wide-mouth containers that can be kept covered. |
00:56 | Though steel containers are recommended, we will use glass containers in some of the pictures. |
01:03 | This will help us to clearly see the milk inside the container. |
01:09 | Next, the mother should wash the chosen containers in soap and water. |
01:14 | After that, she should keep the containers in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. |
01:21 | Then, she should either air dry the containers completely or wipe them dry with an unused clean cloth. |
01:31 | The containers should never be dried with a used cloth such as a used kitchen cloth. |
01:40 | After the clean container is dried completely, she should pour the expressed milk into the containers. |
01:48 | Mother should store only enough milk for one feeding or about 60 to 90 milliliters of milk in each container. |
01:58 | If the mother plans to freeze her breastmilk, she should leave an inch of space at the top of the container.
Because breast milk expands as it freezes. |
02:12 | She should label each container with the date and time of milk expression. |
02:18 | Then she should store these breastmilk filled containers in the coldest possible place. |
02:25 | If she has a fridge, it is best to save the milk there. |
02:30 | She should store the breastmilk in the back of the lowest shelf of the fridge.
This is the coldest area of a fridge. |
02:40 | Never store the breastmilk in the door of a fridge. |
02:44 | The lower the temperature of storage, the longer the storage time. |
02:49 | Breast milk can be stored for up to 7 days in a fridge under clean conditions. |
02:56 | It must be kept cold consistently. |
02:59 | Remember, the more often the fridge door is opened, the more likely the temperature will rise. |
03:07 | If the fridge temperature rises during storage time due to a power cut or other reasons then the mother should use the breastmilk within 6 hours. |
03:18 | If the breastmilk is not used within 6 hours, then she should throw it away. |
03:26 | If the mother doesn’t have a fridge then breast milk can be stored up to 6 hours in a safe, cold and dark place in the house. |
03:39 | If the room is hot, she can store the breastmilk near an earthen pot filled with cold water or in a vessel filled with cold water. |
03:50 | Fresh breast milk contains infection-fighting factors. |
03:57 | Therefore it can stay unspoilt longer than cow's milk. |
04:03 | Germs do not start growing in fresh breast milk for at least 6 hours, even in a hot climate and outside the fridge. |
04:15 | Another way to store breastmilk outside the fridge is by using a cool bag or box with deep-frozen ice packs, changed every 24 hours. |
04:27 | The milk must be protected from the ice packs or it may freeze. |
04:33 | The cool bag can also be used to carry milk. |
04:38 | If the breast milk is to be stored for longer than 7 days, Mother should freeze it as soon as possible after expressing. |
04:49 | Milk which is frozen solid in the freezer of a fridge will be good for 2 weeks. |
04:56 | Milk stored in a separate freezer will be good for 3 to 6 months. |
05:04 | When this previously frozen breast milk is defrosted by keeping it overnight on the lowest shelf of the fridge, it should be used within 24 hours. |
05:17 | And when it is defrosted outside the fridge, it should be used within 2 hours. |
05:25 | In other tutorials, we have explained how to make stored breastmilk ready for the baby to drink. |
05:31 | And, how to feed expressed breast milk to the baby. |
05:37 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
