Breast milk can be stored for up to 72 hours
at +4 ºC in the refrigerator (but not in the
refrigerator door).
Maximum storage times are 2 weeks in the
freezer compartment of the refrigerator or
6 months in the freezer at – 8 ºC.
The milk may be thawed out in the bottle,
either in the refrigerator or if required imme-
diately, by standing in warm water.
In order to attain the correct drinking temper-
ature of approx. 37 ºC, the container should
be placed in the NUK Baby Food Warmer.
N.B.: Breast milk must not be thawed out in
the microwave, as this will destroy valuable
nutrients as well as causing possible damage to
the material of the bottle and may cause a risk
of explosion. Uneven heating may result in
scalding! The milk should therefore be shaken
well before feeding to ensure that milk and
milk fats are well mixed and that the warm
milk is evenly distributed.
Milk which has thawed out and then heated
but not fed to your infant must not be refro-
zen but should be disposed of.
More precise instructions as to long-term
storage can be obtained from your midwife,
health visitor, doctor or pharmacist.
