*Guidelines for expressing milk under very clean conditions:
Before expressing breast milk, mothers should wash their hands with soap and water or an
alcohol-based hand sanitiser. The pump parts, bottles and pumping area must be clean.
Breasts and nipples do not need to be washed before pumping.
• These guidelines for storage and thawing of breast milk are a recommendation. Contact
your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist for further information.
• Store breast milk in the coldest spot of the refrigerator (at the back of the glass shelf above
the vegetable compartment).
8.2 Freezing
NOTICE
• Repeated freeze/thaw cycles destroy the structure of the milk. Therefore, never refreeze
breast milk.
• Freeze expressed breast milk in plastic bottles or milk storage bags. Do not fill the bottles
or bags more than 3/4 full to allow space for possible expansion.
• Label the bottles or bags with the date and volume of expression.
• Plastic bottles and parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.
• Do not use the breast milk from bottles or components that show signs of damage.
8.3 Thawing
CAUTION
Do not thaw or warm breast milk in a microwave or a pan of boiling water. This helps
preserve important components and prevents burns.
• To preserve breast milk components, thaw the milk overnight in the refrigerator.
• Alternatively, hold the bottle or bag under warm water (max. 37 °C / 98.6 °F).
