Is there an issue thawing frozen breast milk by soaking in hot water? the milk is stored in either pigeon / Philips avent / Lansinoh storage bags. Is it ok if the water is freshly boiled? Or should it just be hot and not freshly boiled? Worried about the plastics.

Proteins denature above 41 deg C and thus denatured proteins are not capable to function as they should be. Thawing of frozen BM is recommended in the fridge.

Human milk contains two types of proteins: whey and casein. Approximately 60-80% of all protein in human milk is whey protein. These proteins have great infection-protection properties. In general antibody destruction goes on gradually as temperature is increased.
