A breast warmer is a small electrical appliance with a warming effect. Its main function is to help people heat the thawed breast milk in the refrigerator, allowing children to drink warm milk. The breast warmer needs to warm the breast milk by adding some water and using the water temperature to warm the breast milk. Just, how long can the water in the milk warmer last?
How long can the water in the milk warmer be stored for
It is best to use and discard it immediately, and not to store it for a long time. You should know that the water in the breast warmer cannot be heated repeatedly for a long time, as this can produce some harmful substances that can cause harm to the person. My suggestion is to still use cold or warm water, which is better. Do not use this for a long time to circulate boiling water, which is not good.
Breast milk should not be kept in the breast warmer continuously. The temperature on the warmer cannot be controlled, as it can easily cause milk to spoil if it is too high. Moreover, breast milk is rich in nutrients, and when stored at a suitable temperature for a period of time, it can easily cause bacterial growth, leading to diarrhea and other symptoms in babies after consumption. Therefore, breast milk should not be kept in the breast warmer for a maximum of 1 hour.
How long does the breast warmer heat breast milk for
The brand of breast warmer varies, and the heating time also varies. For example, for the Little White Bear warmer, it is recommended to set the warmer to a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius (high or low), and then put the bottle in. After about 2 minutes, the milk will quickly heat up to 40 degrees Celsius. At this point, you can turn the knob back to 40 degrees Celsius for insulation. Note that if you heat it up at 40 degrees, it will be very slow and won't heat up for 10 minutes.
Although the entire bottle or breast milk bag may be placed inside when using a breast warmer, the water also needs to be replaced regularly to prevent the production of bacteria or negative effects. Using a breast warmer to warm breast milk is for babies to eat, and it is necessary to pay more attention to the process for the healthy growth of babies.
