8. Storing and thawing breast milk
l These guidelines for storing and thawing of breast milk are a recommendation. Contact
your midwife or breastfeeding and lactation consultant for further information.
l 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).
l You can freeze expressed breast milk in milk bottles or “Pump & Save”* bags. Do not ll
the bottles or bags more than 3/4 full to allow space for possible expansion.
l Label the bottles or “Pump & Save” bags with the date of expression and volume of milk
expressed.
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.
I 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 / 98.6 °F).
I Gently swirl the bottle or “Pump & Save” bag to mix any fat that has separated.
Avoid shaking or stirring the milk.
