Storing Breastmilk - Medela Swing Mode D'emploi

If milk gets into the tubing:
1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
2. Remove tubing from the pump. Wash in soapy water, then rinse in
cold clear water.
3. Shake water droplets out and hang to air-dry. For faster drying,
attach tubing to the pump and run for 1-2 minutes or until dry, or
pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through tubing to dry.
If milk accidentally gets inside the motor unit:
1. Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
2. See troubleshooting instructions, page 11 part C.

Storing Breastmilk

Check with your hospital for specific storage instructions.
When freezing, do not fill containers more than 3/4 full to allow space
for expansion. Label containers with the date of pumping.
