Are There Any Special Storage Guidelines for Preterm Infants?
Yes, preterm infants often have stricter guidelines due to their vulnerable state: - Shorter Storage Times: Freshly expressed milk should be used within 48 hours if refrigerated. - Strict Hygiene: Extra care with hygiene practices should be followed to prevent any risk of contamination. - Custom Fortifiers: Sometimes, specific fortifiers may be added to the milk, which may have their own storage guidelines.
