Make sure to not overfill bottles. If you plan on freezing bottles, fill only up to ¾ full,
as milk expands with freezing. After milk has been pumped into Ameda storage
bottles, close by placing locking disc on top of bottle (make sure circular raised middle
part of disc is facing up). Tighten locking ring onto bottle. Label bottle with date and
time that milk was pumped. Use storage chart provided as a guideline.
