Hi, it’s Emily Silver, co-founder of NAPS, Family NP and IBCLC. 👋

Defrosting breastmilk? Here are 3 easy methods to get it done efficiently 👇🏼

🍼 Fridge Overnight: Just like chicken, pop your frozen bag in the fridge before bed and it’ll be thawed by morning.
💧 Mug Method: Fill a mug with hot water, place the bag inside, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
🚿 Sink Hack: For a quicker option, run the bag under hot tap water while gently massaging it to break up the ice.
✨ Hot tip: Breastmilk isn’t considered fully thawed until the last ice crystal is gone. So if you find a partially melted bag in the fridge or someone accidentally left one out—good news! If there are still ice chunks inside, it’s safe to refreeze. 🙌🏼

Save this for later or send it to a fellow pumping parent!
