7.5 How to Fit Your Flange
Check breast flange fit, if pumping causes discomfort a larger or smaller breast flange size may be needed.
GOOD FIT
During pumping, your nipple moves
freely in the breast flange tunnel. You
see space around the nipple. Not much
areola is drawn into the tunnel with the
nipple.
7.6 Breast Milk Storage Guidelines
1: Use breast milk storage bags or clean, food-grade containers to store expressed breast milk. Make sure the containers are
made of glass or plastic and have tight fitting lids. Avoid bottles with the recycle symbol number 7, which indicates that
the container may be made of a BPA-containing plastic. Never store breast milk in disposable bottle liners or plastic bags
that are not intended for storing breast milk.
2: Write the date on the storage container. Include your child's name if you are giving the milk to a child care provider.
3: Gently swirl the container to mix the cream part of the breastmilk that may rise to the top back into the rest of the milk.
Do not shake the milk. This can make some of the milk's valuable parts break down.
4: Refrigerate or chill breast milk right after it is pumped, if possible. Do not store breast milk in door of refrigerator or
freezer. This will help protect the breast milk from temperature changes due to the opening and closing of the door. If
you don't plan to use freshly expressed breast milk within 4 days, freeze it right away to protect the quality of the breast
milk. You can put breast milk in the refrigerator, place it in a cooler or insulated cooler pack, or freeze it in small (2- to 4-
ounce) batches for later feedings. When freezing breast milk, leave about one inch of space at the top of the container
because breast milk expands as it freezes. Pumped milk is OK without being refrigerated for up to 4 hours after pumping.
Fresh Expressed or
Pumped
*Thawed,
Previously Frozen
Leftover from Feeding (baby
did not finish bottle)
*NOTE: When thawing frozen milk, label as thawed when completely thawed (i.e., no ice crystals present). Use the time
when completely thawed to base acceptable time limits for use rather than when it is taken from the freezer.
These guidelines for storage and thawing of breast milk are a recommendation. Contact your lactation
consultant or breastfeeding specialist for further information.
These guidelines are for healthy full-term babies and may vary for premature or sick babies. Check with your health care
provider. Find more breastfeeding resources at: WICBreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov and www.cdc.gov/ breastfeeding/
