How to fill out storing breast milk

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the breast milk and ensure that all the containers and equipment are clean.
2. Use BPA-free and food-grade containers to store breast milk. Glass or hard plastic bottles with tight-fitting lids are recommended.
3. Express the breast milk using a breast pump directly into the sterilized storage container or pour the milk into the container from a clean collection bottle.
4. Leave some space at the top of the container to allow for expansion during freezing.
5. Label the containers with the date and time of expressing the milk to ensure proper rotation.
6. If you are storing freshly expressed milk, it can be kept at room temperature (around 77°F or 25°C) for up to 4-6 hours.
7. If you need to store breast milk for longer periods, refrigerate it immediately. It can be kept in the back of the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
8. To freeze the milk, place the container in the coldest part of the freezer where the temperature remains constant (0°F or -18°C). It can be stored for up to 6-12 months in a standard freezer.
9. Thaw frozen breast milk by transferring it to the refrigerator overnight or placing the container in a bowl of warm water. Avoid using a microwave or boiling water as it can destroy important nutrients.
10. Gently swirl the thawed milk to mix the separated layers before using. Do not shake vigorously.
11. Discard any unused thawed milk after 24 hours.
12. Always follow proper storage and handling guidelines to ensure the safety and quality of the stored breast milk.
