Ini 7 Alasan Memilih Wadah Susu Bayi Praktis dari Hegen

Being a working mom does not hinder them from still being able to provide exclusive breastfeeding for their little one. Even if you cannot always breastfeed the baby directly, you can strive to pump breast milk, which is then given to the little one via a milk bottle. To ensure the process of pumping breast milk runs smoothly and the quality of the breast milk is always maintained, every working mom must pay attention to several things when choosing a breast milk storage container. Besides that, a practical baby milk container is certainly one of the considerations that supports maintaining the quality of expressed breast milk. So, check out the following article to know what you need to understand in choosing a breast milk container and the best breastmilk storage recommendations from Hegen.

Things to Pay Attention to When Choosing a Baby Milk Container

There are many baby milk containers that you can find on the market. However, are they all guaranteed safe for health? Even though they are only used to store breast milk, this should not be underestimated because it is closely related to the little one's health.

Therefore, make sure to choose a breast milk storage container made from the best materials that do not contain harmful chemical compounds. This is important to prevent chemical contamination in the container from leaching into the breast milk that the little one will consume. Additionally, consider choosing a container that is heat-resistant, easy to clean, has a tight lid, and is practical. Let's check out the following points before buying!

1. Choose a Food Grade Breast Milk Storage Container

It is important to choose a breast milk container that is food grade. Besides being specifically intended for storing food and the like, the food grade label generally guarantees the safety of the container from harmful chemical compounds.

2. Pay Attention to the Material of the Breast Milk Storage Container

Generally, breast milk containers are made from plastic material. However, there is currently a more recommended material, which is PPSU, made from a combination of plastic and glass, often used for medical equipment.

So, to avoid choosing the wrong one, check the label on the container to ensure it is free from harmful chemical compounds such as BPA or BPS. If the numbers stated are 1, 2, 4, and 5, then the breast milk container is BPA-free.

Avoid numbers 3, 6, and 7 because numbers 3 and 6 contain BPA derivatives, while number 7 indicates that the product is made from materials containing BPA.

3. Ensure the Expressed Breast Milk Container is Heat and Cold Resistant

The storage process for expressed breast milk usually goes through stages of freezing in a freezer and thawing. Additionally, breast milk containers also need to be sterilized in hot water to prevent germs and bacteria from growing. Therefore, you must choose a breast milk container that can handle these various temperature changes.

4. Easy to Clean

The next important consideration that you should not ignore is choosing a practical and easy-to-clean baby milk container. This is important so that the cleaning process can be done quickly, so as not to waste the mother's time.

5. Has a Tight Lid

You should also choose a breast milk container with a tight lid so that the milk does not spill easily during travel.
