Breastmilk Storage Guidelines Check with your healthcare provider or an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant for specific storage instructions. This information is based on current research and applies to mothers who have healthy, full-term babies who are storing their milk for home use. Important Notes: ● STORAGE CONTAINERS: The best option for storing human milk is glass or hard-sided plastic containers with well-fitting tops.
Breastmilk Storage Guidelines (Continued) Place Refrigerator Temperature How long Things to know 39°F or colder ● Up to 72 hours is best. ● Up to 5-8 days is okay for very clean expressed milk. Store milk in the back of the main body of the refrigerator. 0°F or colder ● Up to 6 months is best. ● Up to 12 months is okay. Store milk toward the back of the freezer where temperature is most constant.
Tips Pumping Tips: The most important and successful part of pumping is the let-down reflex. The let-down reflex is when your milk begins to flow freely. ● Try relaxing with a warm, wet compress on your breasts. ● Drink plenty of fluids. ● Avoid outside distractions. ● Visualize yourself happy, well rested and successful at pumping. ● Sometimes a light circular massaging of the breasts prior to and/or during a pumping session will help your let-down reflex start/continue.
Tips (Continued) Battery Storage: ● When storing the battery for a short period of time, store within the following temperature range: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C). ● When storing the battery for an extended period of time, store within the following temperature range: 32°F to 77°F (0°C to 25°C).
