Thawed breast milk can be used to prepare great nutritious baby porridges! You can store your milk and use it when needed. Storage begins with the extraction process – manually or with a pump (manual or electric). Milking pumps are recommended because the milk is collected directly in a sterile bottle that goes with the pump, so there is no contamination from the outside. In such bottles, it can be stored until the meal. Always wash with clean hands! Wash the milk storage containers with detergent in hot water and then rinse well.
How to Freeze Breast Milk?
After milking, pour the milk into the bag on which the date of milking will be written. You can use milk prepared in this way to prepare porridge when the time is right.

Milk can only be used if stored properly!
