Temperature-sensitive breast milk storage bags
These are an improved version of standard breast milk storage bags. Their main advantage is the ability to visually indicate the milk's temperature through color change.
The bag contains a safe, temperature-sensitive material that changes color when exposed to temperature, typically located on the body of the bag or near the measuring lines.
Changing temperature causes color change: for example, at room temperature, the bag appears blue, but at temperatures above 40°C, it turns pink. The color change pattern is indicated on the packaging of different brands.
When warming or defrosting, there is no need to constantly check the temperature with your hands; simply observing the color will indicate whether the milk temperature exceeds the ideal drinking temperature for your baby (37–40°C), preventing burns to the baby's mouth.
Moms can quickly determine whether milk is too hot (temperatures above 40°C can destroy nutrients such as lactoferrin), allowing them to stop warming promptly and minimize nutrient loss.
5 Steps to Using Breast Milk Storage Bags
How to store breast milk in storage bags?
Shelf life depending on temperature:
At room temperature (20–25°C): milk can be stored for up to 4 hours.
In the refrigerator (0–4°C): it's best to drink milk within 3 days (fewer nutrients are lost). However, it can be stored for up to 72 hours.
In the freezer (below -18°C): milk can be used within 3 months in a home refrigerator. In commercial refrigerators with a deep freeze function, it can be stored for up to 6 months.
Refrigerator/Freezer Storage:
In the refrigerator, avoid placing bags close to the inner wall (the milk may freeze).
In the freezer, lay the bags horizontally. This will help them defrost quickly and save space. You can stack them later.
4 safe ways to thaw:
1.Place the frozen bag in the refrigerator 12 hours before thawing.
2.Soak the bag in warm water (below 40°C) and change the water frequently.
3.Use a bottle warmer to defrost.
4.Never boil the bag in water or microwave it. This destroys the nutrients in breast milk.
Post-thawing instructions:
Drink thawed milk within 24 hours.
Never refreeze it (bacteria will grow in it and it will lose many nutrients).
Also, do not add fresh breast milk to it (the large temperature difference will cause it to spoil).
