Bpa Better
The next time you think twice about investing in a quality nursing bra or indulging in a fashionable nursing top, hesitate no further. The yearly cost of breastfeeding is in the range of $3,000, that's about $50 a week! It will take you a lot of nursing bras to surpass that cost, plus it is better for your baby's health, as well as your own. Not to mention, the added side benefits of weight loss as breastfeeding burns around 500 calories a day, that's 20 calories for the production of just 1 ounce of milk, without even setting foot on a treadmill! Add exercise and healthy eating to the equation and your back in your pre-pregnancy body in no time!
A recent style conducted by the Schneider Children's Hospital revealed that unfrozen refrigerated breastmilk retains its benefits for at least 4 days. This is longer than the common notion promoted by doctors who recommended 48-72 hours. This study which involved 36 new mothers whose premature babies were being treated in the neonatal intensive care unit, found that there was vitually no change in the nutional integrity or bacterial presence of their breastmilk for up to 96 hours. Dr. Richard Schanler, chief of neonatal medicine at Schneider Children's Hospital, hopes that study will shift the paradigm for hospitals everywhere by allowing women to store their unfrozen milk up to 4 days for the neonatal care which has even stricter rules due to the immunity of premature infants (Ricks, Delthia. "Study finds breast milk has longer shelf life than previously thought" Physorg site. January 2, 2010, Accessed January 24, 2010).
The Human Milk Banking Association of North American has suggested that human milk remains viable refrigerated for up to eight days. Dr. Schanlar and his colleagues recommend storing milk in glass containers or plastics BPA ones and refrigerate at a temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit or cooler. They also recommend placing milk in the rear of the refrigerator.
This study gives working women and moms on the go one more reason to breastfeed. Pumping and feeding can be more challenging to plan out and nobody wants to "pump and dump" milk that their baby can't drink in time, especially moms that have to travel away from their babies several days at a time. Now moms can be assured that pumped refrigerated milk, even up to 8 days old, contains all the necessary nutritional ingredients and far more than frozen breastmilk thawed out and certainly more than fresh formula.
Although freezing breastmilk is an alternative storing method and certainly effective for longer time periods, there is also a destruction to the infection-fighting cells and nutritional losses.
"Certain immune components, proteins and enzymes are decreased in frozen milk" Dr. Schanler states.
Most babies prefer the taste of fresher milk, but even thawed out breastmilk is nutritionally superior to manufactured cow milk formula and much cheaper. If you have a caretaker, make sure you instruct them with the proper guidelines for gently thawing out milk that has been frozen. Here is the recommended procedure and Storage Times for Human Milk from the AskDrSears site.
- Defrost milk by holding it under warm running water.
- Or, place the container of milk in a bowl of warm water on the kitchen counter. As the water cools, replace it with more warm water until the milk is thawed and warmed to body temperature.
- Do not heat expressed human milk on top of the stove. It's too easy to overheat it this way. Do not boil!
- Do not heat expressed human milk in a microwave oven. Even if the overall temperature of the milk stays below body temperature, there may be "hot spots" where the milk is overheated and some of its beneficial properties are destroyed. The uneven heating can also be dangerous when the bottle is given to baby.
- Human milk, like any milk that is not processed or homogenized, tends to separate when stored. The cream rises to the top. Swirl the bottle gently to mix the layers.
- Human milk has a thin, bluish look to it, quite different from either homogenized cow's milk or the grayish color of infant formula. Your baby's caregiver may need reassurance that this is normal.
The bottom line is it is worth your time to breastfeed or pump and feed your baby for at least their first year. You can be assured your refrigerated breast milk is not only safe for your baby but far superior than any store bought representation. You can also feel good about saving money on formula in allowing your baby to reap the health benefits of your 100% natural and organic breast milk.

Which bottle is better Dr. Browns or Avent both BPA Free?
I am about to have my second child and I want to use BPA Free bottles. My first child had acid reflux bad so I am sure my second will to. I want a bottle that I can put ceral in if I have to by doctors orders. Thank you for your help.
I like the Dr.Browns better then avent but it can be a pain to wash all the parts of the Dr.Browns. Avent isn't bad but they can leak if done up a little to tight.
