Warming up EBM??

4 replies

Trying to get my 14 week old to take a bottle In preparation for my return to work....BF well established weight gain fab (a porker)...and happy feeding ...me and her
A real struggle - my question is can I keep warming up the same bottle throughout the day to keep trying as I really don't want to keep wasting a bottle of EBM every time or should I just try once in a day then chuck it out???
Just defrosted 3oz she has taken about 1oz - can I warm it up again to try at next feed, just try it cold or do I have to throw it out and defrost more ????

i never rewarm EBM, esp if previously frozen

i wouldn't, sorry
Maybe just try an oz at a time, and then add more as she takes more, not ideal I know

Common sense rules - smell it or taste it and if it's ok, keep it. Don't bother warming it unless you have to, though - repeated reheating and hanging about won't be great for it.

A 14-week old bouncing baby will not be harmed.

You might have to take more care with a 28-week gestation little dot in SCBU....which she is not!

I have nothing except common sense to back this up, by the way, as I don't think there are any guidelines on this.

I think kellymom says that if it was defrosted in the fridge it can be heated once, if defrosted by placing in a bowl of warm water then only once.
