Proper breast milk storage helps keep milk safe and maintain quality for your baby.

Current guidelines recommend freshly expressed breast milk can generally be stored:
• At room temperature (77°F or cooler): up to 4 hours
• In the refrigerator: up to 4 days
• In the freezer: about 6 months is best, although up to 12 months is acceptable

When thawing frozen breast milk, it is safest to thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or by placing the container in warm water. Once milk is fully thawed, it should be used within 24 hours if kept refrigerated. Never refreeze thawed breast milk, and avoid microwaving breast milk because it can create dangerous hot spots.

Label milk with the date it was pumped, store it toward the back of the refrigerator or freezer when possible, and follow safe cleaning practices for bottles and pump parts.

Health care in the United States is increasingly team-based, and doulas—who often provide emotional, physical, and educational support for patients during birth, the postpartum period, and beyond—are valuable members of many care teams.

ACOG’s new clinical guidance encourages ob-gyn collaboration with doulas and gives ob-gyns the tools they need to better understand a doula’s role. It also highlights the importance of stronger partnerships between clinicians and doulas, which can provide vital support across the lifespan—including during and after pregnancy—and can lead to better patient outcomes.

Eating disorders can affect teens of all backgrounds and may impact both physical and mental health. Early recognition is important for getting the right support and improving outcomes.

It is estimated that about 1 in 5 adolescents may struggle with disordered eating behaviors at some point.

Some warning signs to watch for include rapid weight changes, strict or rigid food rules, skipping meals, secrecy around eating, excessive focus on body image, frequent weighing, or increased exercise beyond normal routines.
Mood changes, withdrawal from friends or activities, and fatigue may also be present.

These behaviors are not simply a phase and often require support from a healthcare team!

If you are concerned about your teen’s eating habits, weight, or relationship with food, contact our office to discuss next steps and available resources with a provider!
