Storing / thawing breast milk
Storage guidelines for freshly expressen breast milk (for healthy term babies)

• Do not store breast milk in the door of the refrigerator. Instead choose the coldest part of the refrigerator (this is at the back of the glass shelf above the vegetable compartment).
• You can freeze expressed breast milk in milk bottles or „Pump & Save“ bags. Do not fill the bottles or bags more than ¾ full to allow space for possible expansion.
• Label the bottles or „Pump & Save“ bags with the date of expression.

Caution
Do not thaw frozen breast milk or do not warm breast milk in a microwave or a pan of boiling water to avoid loss of vitamins, minerals and other important components and to prevent burns.

• ln order to preserve the components of the breast milk, thaw the milk in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can hold the bottle or „Pump & Save“ bag under warm water (max. 37 °C).
