l 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.
l 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.
