Question
My child has been crying a lot recently and doesn’t eat much. What can I do with the extra breast milk for the baby?
Answer
Breast milk that will be consumed within three to five days can be stored in the refrigerator’s fresh compartment. For longer storage, it should be placed in the freezing compartment. If the freezer temperature is below -18 degrees Celsius, it can be frozen for up to four months, but make sure the milk cools down before being placed in the refrigerator or freezer. When changing to formula milk, the baby may experience diarrhea and anorexia. It’s important to treat symptoms promptly. It’s recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, get enough rest, and supplement with various vitamins to enhance immunity and promote a quick recovery.
