Question
A 28-year-old first-time mother, currently in the lactation period, wants to know about the uses of expressed breast milk.
Answer
Expressed breast milk can be stored properly by placing it in the refrigerator using milk storage bags. It is recommended to lay the storage bags flat so that the mother can provide stored breast milk for her baby when she is out. Before use, heat and shake the breast milk and then feed it to the baby. If the baby does not finish, discard the remaining portion. Additionally, breast milk can be used for skin care. Soak a mask paper in breast milk to use as a mask, which has a nourishing effect on the skin, thus it is not advisable to waste it.
