 you should not heat expressed breast milk at all, it kills the nutrients. keep the bottle out of the fridge an hour or so before needed, it will come down to room temperature, that is good enough for the baby.

 i was breast feeding and went to bottled milk now im trying to go back to breast feeding by expressing as my baby has lost the nack for feeding off me. im expressing hourly and getting barely anything. plunket midwives said a strict regumin of pumping constantly for 48 hours increase milk production then keep going after that. and still getting baby to try feed as they are always more efficient at making the milk productiion increase. there is also nursing tea lactagogue tea improves breastmilk quality & quantity promotes the stimulation of milk production, so its quantity and quality is improved. it works by stimulating the lymph glands (short-term) which improves milk-flow and reduces congestion. lactagogue tea also improves the mother’s digestion, and diffuses any intestinal gas in the mother, which can cause upset in the breast feeding baby eg colic. pimpinella (aniseed) and foeniculum (fennel) improves the mother’s digestion, which in turn helps to prevent colic in the baby. they also increase milk production (lactation). aniseed also contains b vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron and magnesium, which are calming and restoring. carum carvi (caraway) improves digestion and relieves colic and flatulence urtica (nettle) stimulates lactation 1 level 5ml spoon (approx. 1g) contains equiv. dry plant: pimpinella anisum, fruit (aniseed) 250mg; foeniculum vulgare, fruit (fennel seed) 250mg; carum carvi, fruit (caraway seed) 250mg; urtica dioica and/or urtica urens, herb (nettle) 250mg. one teaspoon to a cup of cold water; bring to the boil. simmer for 1 minute; allow to draw for 5 minutes; strain. drink 3-5 cups daily. a couple of great ways to increase milk are to drink extra water, eat oatmeal, and drink tea. any ol' tea will do, however, there is mother's milk tea (which contains fenugreek, known to incnrnease production). also, remembering that milk is a supply-demand thing, moms can pump to encourage more milk to produce (in addition to nursing baby on demand). breast milk contains just the right balance of nutrients for the baby. it provides exactly as much energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fat as your newborn needs to grow. breast milk contains antibodies to help your baby resist certain infections. antibodies in breast milk boost your baby's immunity against ear infections, respiratory infections such as pneumonia, and digestive infections such as diarrhea and constipation. breast milk also reduces a baby's risk of developing allergies, tooth decay, high blood pressure and obesity later in life, although how this protection works is unknown. breast milk is easier to digest than commercial formula. the nutrients in breast milk are more absorbable than those in formula. also, an enzyme present only in breast milk helps babies process nutrients more efficiently. because breast-fed babies have a digestive advantage over formula-fed babies, they usually have smaller, softer and less smelly diapers too. breast-feeding helps you lose weight. it will assist you in burning the fat that you stored during your pregnancy and ease your return to your pre-pregnancy weight. breast-feeding, though, should not be viewed as a dieting strategy. in fact, nursing mothers need to consume an extra 300 to 500 calories per day for the extra energy that breast-feeding expends. breast-feeding lowers your risk of certain cancers. rates of ovarian cancer, and in pre-menopausal women, breast cancer, are lower in women who have breast-fed. breast-feeding strengthens your bones. breast-feeding builds bone strength and protects against osteoporosis. breast-feeding promotes bonding between you and your baby. it creates intimacy and closeness with your baby, which can be extremely rewarding for both of you. breast-feeding has some other practical advantages too, including: it is less expensive and more convenient than bottle-feeding. if you breast-feed, you don't have to buy formula or prepare bottles and nipples. you can do it anywhere and at any time. breast milk is available wherever you go, so you can feed your baby at the first signs of hunger. pediatricians and other infant-development experts believe that breast milk is the optimal form of infant nutrition and recommend exclusive breast-feeding for the first six months. gradual introduction of iron-enriched solids in the second half of the first year should complement the breast milk diet. ideally, you should continue breast-feeding for at least 12 months. currently, almost 70 percent of women in the united states breast-feed their newborns. by the time babies reach 6 months, though, less than a third of mothers are still breast-feeding. because no infant formula can match all of the nutritional benefits of a mother's milk, it's worthwhile to consider breast-feeding even if you work or use child care. the key is learning to use a breast pump before you go back to work.

 hi jaya, when expressing breast milk you have to make sure you are expressing every 3-4 hours, waiting any longer will only give you a small amount. make sure you drink lots of water and eat well. you are best to eat & drink when expressing milk. also make sure you massage your breasts before you start. if you aren't producing enough breast milk you can always alternate with formula.
