Help! Can you reheat defrosted expressed breast milk?

[fillybuster]

I know you can reheat normal milk, according to the kelly site...but can you reheat milk that was freshly frozen, defrosted by standing out then heated for a feed?

DD (grr!) refused the bottle I left for her for the first time today, so I'd like dh to use that milk for her feed tonight (which she always takes happily). That way I can freeze the 150ml I expressed this morning and save it for another day...assuming she ever agrees to take a bottle during the day, of course ...but that's a whole other thread!

not advised, no

No.

Don't reheat more than once.

The kellymom(? I'm sure thats not right but brain is flat...) site says you can reheat breast milk twice fairly safely - thats why I'm trying to figure out whether having frozen it first will have made any difference...

kellymom was my bible when breast feeding but i don't ever remember having read that.....can you link as it is news to me!

Link to it? Goodness, not even sure if I can even find it right now....

be right back with a link...if I can....

i will go and look too

Link is here

I found it too

I would believe kellymom tbh actually! It is the bible of all things breastfeeding!

I never knew that and I am pretty 'hard core' lol

Coolio...so basically we're agreed that the freezing thing makes absolutely no difference? Thanks!!

I would taste it... When I was breastfeeding, if I was not sure about whether my EBM was off, I always tasted it after heating it off. There is a definite 'off' taste if it has gone bad. Better be safe than sorry!
