The best way is direct breast feeding which besides having multiple nutritional and immunological benefits, increases the bond between baby and mother.
But in case you need to store breast milk for some reasons, collect the milk in a clean Steel Katori rather than plastic bottle. this can be given immediately , stored at room temperature of 24-28 degrees celsius upto 4 hours and in refrigerator upto 8 hours.
You can feed your baby with katori chamach which is anyday superior to bottle feeding. With bottle, hygiene is tough to maintain and baby may develop infections.

For any further query, teleconsultation can be done.
