How Do You Preserve Breast Milk

This will also make it pliable so that they can shape into your desired centerpiece.
How to Preserve Breast Milk for Jewelry
Express your milk by hand or using a pump as you normally would. Ideally, you want to store your milk in an airtight breast milk bag such as these. If you’re sending it off to a jewelry maker or using it up later, your milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to one year.
Thaw your milk by placing its container in a bowl of warm water or leaving it in the refrigerator overnight. Never in a microwave.
You will be required to send to your chosen breast milk jewelry artists at least two ounces of breast milk for them to work with. This super trendy breastfeeding keepsake has some jewelers with wait-lists as long as a year, so start your research as soon as possible to get yours on time.
Of course, there’s no way of being 100% sure
