Troubleshooting - Medela Swing Mode D'emploi

Defrosting
• Thaw milk overnight in the refrigerator, or hold the bottle under warm
running water to quickly thaw. You can also place the sealed container
in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes to bring it to body temperature.
Thawed milk is safe in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Do not refreeze.
•
Caution:
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of
boiling water.
• Never microwave breastmilk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to
baby's mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving.
Microwaving can also change the composition of breastmilk.
• If adding expressed breastmilk to container of already frozen
breastmilk, make sure to add a lesser amount than the already
frozen amount.
