Mix your milk! If not, fat & caloric content can differ a lot which affects metabolic processes & weight gain.


Layering milk - yes, you can!

Milk from different sessions can be mixed into one container but cool to same temperatures before mixing.


How to thaw human milk:

  • In fridge overnight

  • Run it under warm water

  • Big container of warm water

  • Waterless warmer

  • Warm it slowly

  • 20 mins in warm water

Need a cheat sheet? I will create my own reference guide soon! For now, use this one and share with clients, partners or daycare providers.
