Tips for Freezing Milk

• Only fill container ¾ full before freezing to allow for milk expansion.
• Freeze milk in quantities of 2 to 4 ounce portions. This allows milk to thaw quicker and
creates less waste if your baby does not drink it all.
• Always use thawed milk within 24 hours of thawing.
• Never refreeze milk once it has been defrosted.
• Do not use a microwave oven to thaw frozen breast milk.
• Thaw frozen breast milk in the refrigerator for several hours or with warm water. If
thawing with warm water, you may need to gently shake the container to blend any
fat that has separated.

WARNING
• Do not warm milk in a microwave oven as it destroys nutrients and antibodies and
can create hot spots harmful for your baby.
• Do not use a bottle warmer to warm breast milk, unless the bottle warmer is specially
designed to work with breast milk.
• Never immerse a frozen bottle into boiling water as this may cause the bottle to crack.

Product Return Policy

For reasons of hygiene, this breast pump cannot be returned to the store once it has been
opened. However, The First Years offers product replacement under terms of its 90-day
manufacturer's warranty.

Install/Change Batteries

It's a good idea to keep fresh batteries with you so you can replace them immediately, if
necessary, during pumping (especially if an outlet is not available). You'll know batteries
are getting weak if the pump slows down and begins to make straining noises. If the
batteries die completely, the pump will stop.
1. Turn pump over to expose battery door; slide door in
direction of arrow to open.
2. Insert 4 AA batteries (alkaline recommended for
best performance). Position batteries as shown
in the compartment.
3. Replace cover and slide closed.
IMPORTANT: Each battery must be positioned correctly
otherwise pump will not function.
