It's a personal choice really, and can also depend on your baby's taste.


Milk which has been frozen/heated has a slightly different taste, due to the change in protein structure caused by freezing or heating. The more times you do either, the more you change the milk (and decrease its nutritional value). Some babies don't like breastmilk once it's been altered in this way.


Also, breastmilk has antibodies in it that help to deter bacterial growth. These are degraded with every cycle of heating (or freezing). So if you really want to reheat breastmilk, think about the time table over which you do so. The kind of bacteria likely to grow in breastmilk are not likely to multiply rapidly over just a few hours. For example, milk from a feed at 9AM should be fine to reheat for a 12PM feed (although it won't taste as fresh or be as nutritious). As with cow's milk, you can taste the milk for yourself, and just throw it out if you're unsure.

Second Helen GV. Freeze in small amounts in minimise waste!


And heat up gently so you don't destroy its qualities.

You can always use any you're not entirely sure about but think might be OK in cooking for yourselves rather than for the baby so it won't be wasted.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
