Pasteurize Your Breastmilk at Home

How can breastmilk be pasteurized at home?

When full screening is not available, donor health status is unknown, or to reduce the potential risks of exposure to HIV and/or other pathogens, breastmilk can be pasteurized at home.

• Holder pasteurization

Holder pasteurization is considered the standard for human and cow’s milk pasteurization. It has been shown to inactivate pathogens while maintaining adequate nutritious properties. However, given its longer time-temperature curves, this method damages more of the antimicrobial factors of breastmilk than would flash pasteurization.

This method of pasteurization can be done by parents or caregivers on the stove top, or with a home pasteurizer kit for human milk. Some mothers may decide they want to buy commercial grade pasteurizers which are also available.

• Flash-heating (FH)

Flash-heating is a low-tech method of pasteurizing breastmilk that was developed for HIV postitive mothers in developing countries who had no safe or affordable alternatives for feeding their infants.¹

Studies by a research team lead by Israel-Ballard,² have shown that FH breastmilk inactivates HIV and 4 common bacteria.

Cooling down heat-treated milk

Cooked foods have a ‘danger zone,’ a temperature range from 60ºC/140ºF to 4ºC/39ºF where bacteria like to grow. It is therefore important to cool milk down quickly after it has been heated. Cooling the container in ice water is the quickest way to cool milk. Depending on the amount of milk, cooling it in the refrigerator is generally not recommended as the milk will cool unevenly, leaving some milk too warm for too long. Please know that not all glass is suited for heating and rapid cooling.

Reusing heat-treated milk In this study, the researchers discuss that after cooling “flash-heat was successful in completely eliminating bacteria in the majority of samples, and prevented substantial growth for up to 8 h when stored at room temperature.”

To date, the safety of reheating previously heat-treated milk has not, to our knowledge, been studied. It should be noted that most literature speaks in terms of heating expressed milk for feeding but that mothers generally warm the (thawed) milk under running warm water or set it in a container in warm water for a short while to get the chill out of it. Gently warming should not be considered heat-treating. For optimal properties of breastmilk, reheating (warming) milk should not be done directly in a pan on the stove top nor in a container set in boiling water on the stove top (which would be heat-treating it unnecessarily).

Heat-treated milk can possibly be refrigerated or frozen following common food safety protocols. We suggest, however, that after a first feeding, milk that was heat-treated not be refrigerated and reheated again as anti-bacteriological properties can decline with increased handling.

Milo Banyakkan Susu

Memula tu mcm x caya gak biler opismate ckp die akn minum milo byk2 bile tgk ebm berkurangan. Dari dok dgr ckp org jer mn nk tau berkesan ke tak kn so mestila kene cube sendri br bleh nk citer. (Paling x suke kalau org jual brg bercerita bagai nk rak tp die sendri x cube pon. Kekwat.)

Aku ni mmg jenis pelupe tmbh sejak da bersalin dua org anugerah Allah lg2 kepelupaannyer tuh. Pil homeopathy tu mmg ade je la dlm drawer. Time igt gla mkn time x igt x mkn. Kdg berhari x mkn pn . Pil perancang? Rancang sendri jerla huhuhuhu.

So atas ckp2 kwn td tu aku pn try minum milo sejam sebelum nk pam. Alhamdulillah.  Lancar je production. Hasil pn lumayan.  Bila difikirkan mungkin betol jgk milo ni bleh jd pemangkin penambahan susu sbb milo kn coklat. Coklat merangsang hormon happy (ape nama ntah). And biler kite happy bdn pn happy ebm pn byk insyaAllah.  Pape pn yg penting ibu2 menyusu kene rajin berzikir dan berdoa mohon diperbanyakkn susu utk baby juga k!

Renung2kn dan selamat mencoba!

Pil Homeopathy Banyakkan Susu

Ibu2 disarankan untuk menyusukan baby sejak lahir. Kebiasaannya kalau ibu dapat melepasi usia baby 3 bln, insyaAllah baby berpeluang merasa susu ibu hingga usia 6 bulan 9 bln 12 bln dan seterusnya hingga had yg disyariatkan selama 2 thn.

Namun ramai ibu2 yg gagal menyusukan baby secara eksklusif atas pelbagai faktor. Aku pn mengalami faktor2 yg hampir menyebabkan hati ni berputus asa, semangat ku hilang dan kdg2 perasaan MALAS dan SIBUK sering menjenguk.

Paling mencabar ketika badan rase tak sihat dan perlu menyusukan baby. Hanya Allah Yg Maha Mengetahui betapa getirnya semangat di kala tu. Ibarat telor di hjg tanduk dgn emosi yg up and down. Ibu2 tau tak kalu emosi kite memberi kesan ke atas production susu?

Dalam memenuhi syariat ini mmg memerlukan pengorbanan yg besar. Ibu2 pn kene rajin membaca dan membuat terapi minda dan emosi. Ecehh mcm propesor plak becakap. Apa yg sy belajar jugak, pentingnya mengetahui pemakanan yg baik utk bdn kita dan yg ni lg penting - kawan utk menyokong kita. Kalau dpt kwn yg ber-ebm sama lg best. So marilah ebm berjemaah huhuhu.

Supplement pn disajeskan. Sy mmg dr awal kelahiran baby sy da amalkan supplement soya dr brand yg pofular sgt kt fb tu. Alhamdulillah mmg berkesan di awal fasa. Ditambah dgn persediaan mental agaknya. Since ni 2nd baby jd dah kurglah perasaan nk nangis sbb baby meragam. Ahha kantoi di situ. Tp alhamdulillah baby aaron sgt baik sepanjang tempoh pantang.

Bila baby aaron masuk usia 6 bln, bonda die ni mula diserang sakit sbb berjangkit dr aaron. Pelbagai gejala penyakit mula menular di dlm umah. Antara bonda aaron and kakak puteri kami bergilir2 amik turn hingga sekarang bonda masih belum pulih. Syukurlah ia tidak melarat ke penyakit lebih berat dan bonda terima dengan redha dan berhrp ia adalah kifarah ke atas bonda.

Bila badan tak sihat production susu pn menurun mcm bonda ckp td. Sikit sebanyak sedih gak tp xnk sedih byk2 sbb nnt susu lg sikit.  Kdg bila bonda happy sgt susu pn tetibe byk. Jd ibu2 kenela selalu happykan diri. Dalam berborak2 dgn kwn2 ni selalu gak la kami selitkan psl penyusuan baby especially kwn yg ada baby ni. Tetibe kwn sorg ni perkenalkan Pil Homeopathy Tambah Susu.  Cara makan die kemam jer 3x sehari harga pn ok rm15 utk 60 biji. Sebelum ni aku ade survey gak supplement lain since produk shaklee da tak berkesan lg utk tmbhkan susu. Pil hormon Noriday pn nmpknya x berkesan tp boleh la mkn utk family planning. Ade 1 pil lg produk Mamamilky yg berharga rm70 mkn 2x sehari utk 12 hari. Hohoho mahalnye lahai.

Jadi aku pn oder jerla pil homeopathy tu dpt jer turus mkn hihihi. Alhamdulillah hari kedua tdo mlm smpi basah2 baju.  Dah lama x gitu. Esok pg pam pn hasilnya lumayan almost 10oz. Hrp pil ni berkesan utk jangka masa pjg.

So ibu2 yg ada mslh low production tu bleh la try g crk kt klinik homeopathy dr radziah di Kompleks PKNS shah alam. Bak tulisan Dr. Tu kita ikhtiar Allah jua menentukan.

"Ya Allah permudahkanlah segala urusan kehidupanku, perbanyakkanlah susuku untuk bayiku dan permudahkanlah perjalanan ku menyusukan anakku agar mengikuti segala yg Engkau syariatkan."
Amin.
