Storage of Breastmilk
Do not let breastmilk stand at room temperature. To inhibit the growth of
bacteria, breastmilk which is not used immediately must be refrigerated or, if
stored for more than 24 hours, must be frozen.
For freezing, do not fill bottles more than ¾ full, to allow space for
Breastmilk Bags. In the deep free-
expansion or use the Pump & Save
TM
zer (–18 °C) breastmilk can be safely stored for approximately three months.
Never add warm milk to frozen milk.
Thaw frozen milk by holding the container under warm water or leave it for 12
hours in the refrigerator. Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in
boiling water. Before feeding, shake the bottle to blend any fat that has sepa-
rated. Check with your hospital for specific storage instructions.
Cleaning/Sterilization
Important:
For cleaning/sterilizing purposes, the valve must always be removed from the
bre astshield and the membrane is to be taken off the valve head. For hygienic
reasons it is important to rinse the breastshield from all directions, including
upside down. Wipe the breastpump unit with a damp (not wet) cloth. If the
tubing show traces of milk, they have to be cleaned as well as the gaskets.
Remove the gasket according to the description on page 11. Wash gaskets
and tubing with warm soapy water, rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly.
Please note that this material is not suitable for s terilization in a
microwave oven.
