How to Store Your Expressed Breastmilk

Breastmilk∙should∙be∙stored∙in∙a∙clean,∙sealed∙container.
Do not store your breastmilk in a fridge or freezer door. The door tends to be
the∙warmest∙part∙of∙the∙fridge∙or∙freezer∙because∙of∙opening∙and∙closing.∙Date∙
all∙stored∙breastmilk∙and∙use∙the∙oldest∙breastmilk∙first.

Breastmilk Storage Guidelines

Where Temperature
At room temperature 19° to 26°C
(fresh∙milk)
In∙a∙refrigerator 4°C to 6°C
In∙a∙freezer -18° to -20°C
*∙The∙preference∙is∙to∙refrigerate∙or∙chill∙milk∙right∙after∙it∙is∙expressed.
Reference:∙La∙Leche∙League∙International
Thawing
Thaw∙frozen∙breastmilk∙in∙the∙refrigerator∙or∙place∙the∙container∙under∙
cool∙running∙water,∙gradually∙warming∙the∙water∙until∙the∙milk∙is∙thawed.∙
Thawed∙milk∙can∙be∙kept∙in∙a∙refrigerator∙for∙up∙to∙24∙hours.∙Do∙not∙refreeze∙
breastmilk∙once∙it∙is∙thawed.
Gently∙swirl∙the∙container∙of∙thawed∙breastmilk∙before∙feeding∙to∙baby∙to∙
mix∙the∙layers∙that∙have∙separated.∙Breastmilk∙is∙not∙homogenized∙and∙the∙
"cream"∙will∙rise∙to∙the∙top∙of∙the∙bottle.∙Breastmilk∙can∙vary∙in∙colour∙and∙
consistency∙depending∙upon∙the∙time∙of∙the∙day∙that∙the∙milk∙was∙expressed,∙
what∙you∙have∙eaten,∙and∙the∙age∙of∙the∙baby∙at∙the∙time∙of∙pumping.∙Do∙not∙
shake∙the∙bottle∙vigorously∙to∙mix∙the∙layers∙as∙doing∙so∙can∙damage∙the∙live∙
components of your breastmilk.
Do∙not∙microwave∙human∙milk!∙Microwaving∙alters∙the∙composition∙of∙the∙
breastmilk.∙Microwaving∙also∙may∙create∙"hot∙spots"∙in∙the∙breastmilk∙that∙
could burn your infant.
Do∙not∙thaw∙breastmilk∙in∙very∙hot∙or∙boiling∙water.
Troubleshooting for the Lansinoh
Manual Breast Pump
Lack of Suction / Decreased Suction
If∙it∙feels∙like∙the∙suction∙has∙decreased,∙try∙the∙following:
1. Make sure that all pump parts have been properly dried and properly
assembled.
2.∙∙ Inspect∙the∙white∙valve∙for∙a∙tear∙or∙pinhole.∙This∙component∙is∙critical∙to∙
achieving∙proper∙suction.∙If∙necessary,∙replace∙the∙white∙valve∙with∙the∙
spare∙valve∙provided∙with∙the∙pump.
3.∙∙ Ensure∙that∙the∙silicone∙diaphragm∙and∙stem∙is∙fitted∙securely∙to∙the∙pump∙
body and a perfect seal is created.
4.∙∙ Ensure∙that∙the∙ComfortFit™∙Breast∙Cushion∙is∙fitted∙securely∙to∙the∙pump∙body∙
and a perfect seal is created.
5.∙∙ If∙your∙nipple∙is∙unable∙to∙be∙centred∙within∙the∙tunnel∙of∙the∙flange∙without∙
rubbing,∙you∙may∙need∙the∙larger∙size∙ComfortFit™∙Breast∙Cushion∙included∙in∙the∙
pack.

Pain When Pumping
If∙you∙are∙experiencing∙pain∙when∙expressing∙breastmilk,∙try∙the∙following:
1.∙∙ You∙may∙be∙pumping∙too∙hard.∙It∙may∙not∙be∙necessary∙to∙use∙all∙of∙the∙suction∙
that∙the∙pump∙can∙generate.∙Try∙depressing∙the∙handle∙half∙way∙and∙remember∙
the 2-3 second suggested rhythm.
2.∙∙ You∙may∙need∙a∙larger∙or∙smaller∙breast∙cushion,∙try∙the∙other∙breast∙cushion∙
included in this package. Consult your health professional for an assessment and
sizing.
Feeding breastmilk with the NaturalWave™
Peristaltic Teat
This NaturalWave™ Peristaltic Teat is specially designed to:
• Helps maintain established breast feeding patterns.
•∙∙ Switch∙easily∙from∙breast∙to∙bottle∙and∙back∙again.
•∙∙ Encourages∙baby's∙'wave-like'∙tongue∙movement
• Promotes instinctive sucking action for natural oral development
1. Latching on
∙ Lips∙open∙outward∙and∙latch∙onto∙the∙areola.
2. Peristaltic tongue movement
∙ Tongue∙moves∙in∙a∙smooth∙"wave-like"∙motion∙to∙
compress∙nipple∙and∙extract∙milk.∙This∙encourages∙
natural∙oral,∙jaw∙and∙facial∙development.
∙ Fact:∙Baby's∙tongue∙repeats∙the∙peristaltic∙movement∙
about 800 to 1000 times in just one nursing session.
3. Swallowing
∙ Back∙of∙baby's∙tongue∙rises,∙channelling∙the∙milk∙into∙the∙
oesophagus.
The NaturalWave™ Peristaltic Teat was designed and is clinically proven
to encourage this natural feeding pattern.
