• When you want to freeze breast
milk, allow space at the top of
your bottle for it to expand. It’s
easiest to freeze breast milk in
individual feed quantities of
2-4oz / 60-125ml.
• Your breast milk may separate out
into layers when you store it. Give
it a shake to remix it thoroughly
before feeding your baby.
Storing breast milk
• Thaw frozen breast milk in the
fridge or by standing your bottle
in lukewarm water until it has
reached body temperature.
Or use a Tommee Tippee
bottle warmer.
• If you want to take expressed milk
out and about with you, make
sure it stays cold or frozen until
you need to feed your baby.
• Keep your breast pump and
anything else you use around
breastfeeding clean. Wash all the
washable parts of your pump and
sterilize them before using.
• Keep this breast pump away
from children who may choke
on small parts.
