Can I mix batches of breastmilk?

Question

This may be a really dumb question but j was wandering if I were to pump a little bit In the morning and then a little bit at night can I mix the two batches together in a bottle to feed my LO also how do I hear breastmilk and know it's the right temperature? Iv been bfe for the past 11 days but due to continuous latching issues I need to pump some but have no idea what I'm doing!

Answer

I mix my batches just because some times I pump more than others and when I go to feed my LO, it's not always enough in one bag. And to heat it I put a mug of water in the microwave and heat it up and then place x amount of bags in the mug once the water is hot (about 2min 30 sec in microwave for hot water) and let the bags soak for about a minute before pouring into the bottle; I shake it up and then test it on my wrist (which usually between the pouring and shaking it looses some heat so by the time it gets to baby, it's just warm and not hot)

Answer

Ask your local La Leche League they are on Facebook and in person they can help with all breastfeeding questions :-)
