How to defrost frozen breast milk

First, don't use a microwave. Microwaves can destroy certain protiens and anti-bodies.

The best way is to place the frozen milk in the refrigerator until it is thawed. We recognize that this takes a long time, but it seems to keep most of the goodies in the milk intact.

If you need the milk in a hurry, hold the container of frozen milk under warm running water. Breast milk defrosts pretty quickly, but remember - baby does not like cold milk! You will need to place the bottle in warm water to heat it up.
