Question 1

can i give my infant cold breastmilk from the fridge without warming it? he doesn't seem to have a problem with cold milk.

Accepted Answer

Ok: This should not be a problem

Question 2

can i prepare the milk formula for my newborn baby and store it in the fridge?  if yes, how long it lasts in the fridge?

Accepted Answer

Read the label: Every formula is slightly different - read the label of your formula.  Most do not recommend mixing the formula very far ahead of time, but you'll need to read the label to see.  The reason, especially for a newborn is that, once mixed, bacteria could grow in the formula (rich with nutrients) once water is added.  Always follow the label directions exactly.  It's best for baby.

Question 3

can we give refrigerated milk to the baby straight from the fridge without making it warm?is that affect the health of the baby?

Accepted Answer

: The baby will likely not like the milk cold so it is better to warm it so the baby will take it. You can put the bottle in the microwave for 30-60 seconds and then put a few drops on your arm to make sure it is not too hot. If it is still not warm, microwave at 30 second intervals until it feels warm to you but not hot. Good luck to you!

Question 4

i give soji kheer in formula milk  to my 4 month old baby .i make it in the morning .can i give him same kheer at evening? can i put it on fridge?

Accepted Answer

Baby foods: For most baby foods, you can refrigerate the leftovers, but you should not feed your baby from the same dish. Take some out of the container and put it in a small dish. Feed him with a spoon; don't put the food in the bottle. Go gradually. Some babies don't want solid foods until nearly 6 months. Also, I would avoid adding sugar or salt to the food- keep it plain.

Question 5

if i take a bottle of expressed breast milk out of fridge and warm it up, feed to baby, and then have leftovers..,is it okay to reuse?back in fridge?

Accepted Answer

Is Not Safe: Re-use of bottled breast milk from a prior feeding is not considered a safe practice. There is risk of bacterial contamination with serious consequences in babies. Additionally, deterioration of beneficial nutrients occurs. To eliminate waste, add to bottle normal amount of milk your baby consumes plus 1-2 oz extra to allow for increase in appetite as baby grows &amp; day-to-day hunger patterns.

Question 6

why do u have to discard baby milk after being in the refrigerator for 24hrs?

Accepted Answer

It goes bad.: Unpasteurized milk (human or otherwise) will breed bacteria in the refrigerator. The bacterial load is unacceptably high after 24 hours.

Question 7

after i boil my infants water for bottles what type of container can i store it in in the fridge that wont "seep" materials into the hot water?

Accepted Answer

Glass: I'd expect glass or stainless steel to be safe.

Question 8

how long can i keep formula milk in fridge?

Accepted Answer

2 days if not frozen: The refrigerator section temperature varies because people open the doors to move foods & drinks in and out all day long. If breastmilk is meant to be used, it can go in the fridge section but should be used within 1-2 days. If breastmilk is meant to be frozen, it should be put in the freezer as soon as possible after pumping. Store up to 3 months in a fridge freezer or 6 months in a deep freezer.

Question 9

can i give my infant whole milk at 11 months?

Accepted Answer

Wait until 12 months: Whole milk should be started at 12 months of age.  Breast milk or infant formula is for ages birth to 12 months of age.

Question 10

i gave my two months old infant a drop of old prepared formula milk by mistake.what can happen to my infant?

Accepted Answer

Should be ok: it should be ok, watch for any somtoch upset,  vomting an diarrhea,   but  if  just a drop, should not be  a problem.
