Find the answers to some of the most common breastfeeding questions.

Is there a limit to how many times you can reheat a bottle of breast milk?

Written by: P&N

First, you should always make sure to put any unused breast milk in the fridge within a half hour after your baby has stopped feeding. If you let the milk sit around longer than that, bacteria can start forming due saliva that gets into the milk during feeding. Once you have put a bottle of breast milk in the fridge, the fat will begin to separate from the milk, so be sure to shake the container well before reheating.
