Description: The preparation of breastmilk involves ensuring proper hygiene and cleanliness. This includes washing hands before handling breastmilk and sterilizing all equipment used for expressing and storing #breastmilk. Breastmilk can be expressed manually or with the help of a breast pump. It is important to use clean containers to collect and store the expressed milk, which can then be refrigerated or frozen for later use. When preparing breastmilk for feeding, it is essential to thaw frozen milk slowly in the refrigerator or under warm running water. It should never be microwaved or heated directly on the stove, as this can destroy important nutrients and create hot spots that can burn the baby's mouth.
