QUICK START GUIDE
STORAGE OF BREAST MILK
a. Refrigerate expressed milk immediately. If you express more than once a day, you can add the amounts so long as you put it
back in the refrigerator each time.
b. Store milk in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, or in the freezer for 3 months.
c. You will notice that stored milk separates out into layers. Shake to remix thoroughly before feeding.
d. When freezing milk, allow space at the top of the bottle for expansion. It is easiest to freeze milk in individual feed quantities of
60-125ml (2-4ozs)
e. Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or by standing the bottle in warm water until it has reached body temperature.
f.
If you want to take expressed milk with you when you are out, make sure it stays cold or frozen until needed.
