STORING BREAST MILK
• If you decide to store expressed breast milk, you should do so immediately
using a proper milk bag or storage container.
• Be sure to only store milk that was collected with a sterile pump.
• There are many way to store your breast milk:
• 5-8 days in a refrigerator, but do not use the shelf.
• 2 weeks inside of the freezer compartment of a refrigerator.
• 3-4 months in a refrigerator-freezer with a separate door.
• 6-12 months in a deep freezer with a temperature below -32° C (0° F).
• Freezing your breast milk is perfectly safe and will not compromise the
nutrients or anti-bodies.
FEEDING YOUR BABY STORED MILK
• Breast milk should not be heated in a microwave or boiled because the special
proteins and anti-bodies can be removed.
• Microwaving also causes uneven heating that can harm your baby.
• If you decide to microwave or boil for heating, please use extra care.
• If heating is necessary, place the storage container under running hot water
until warm, or thaw by allowing to sit in a bowl of hot water.
BOTTLE FEEDING SAFETY CAUTIONS
• Please follow these safety precautions:
• Using a microwave oven is not recommended because of uneven heating and
hot spots that could injure your baby.
• If you decide to use a microwave, always remove all other parts, including teat
and ring and stir liquid contents to eliminate hot and cold spots.
• Test temperatures before feeding and do not warm liquid beyond body
temperature 37° C (98.6° F)
• Use only under adult supervision; baby feeding parts are not toys.
• Do not allow your child to run or play with small parts.
• Never use bottle teats as pacifiers, soothers, or teethers.
• After feeding, remove the bottle from baby.
• Prolonged or continuous fluid sucking can cause tooth decay, even with milk
and formula, so prolonged bottle use is not recommended.
• Use of sweetened or carbonated drink and fruit juices are not recommended.
