Breastmilk Storage (For Healthy Term Babies)
• When freezing do not fill bottles/bags more than 3/4 full to allow space for expansion.
• Label bottles/bags with the date of pumping.
• In order to preserve the components of the breastmilk, thaw in the refrigerator overnight
or by holding the bottle/bag under running warm water (max. 37° C).
• Gently shake the bottle/bag to blend any fat that has separated.
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave oven or in a pan of boiling water
(danger of burning).
