Subject(s): Summary: Human milk for hospitalized infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is often stored frozen and must be thawed before use. Frozen milk must be properly thawed, ensuring that no ice crystals remain, while minimizing overheating, to reduce risk of microbial growth and prevent nutrient loss. Although frozen milk may be thawed in the refrigerator over 8 to 12 hours, such a process may not be as effective for thawing large volumes for multiple patients or may result in human milk waste if orders change frequently.
