Product Information

Store breast milk at appropriate temperatures (between 0-10°C in the fridge and -18°C or lower in the freezer) and use a fridge or freezer thermometer if you have one. You should always label the container you use to hold your breast milk with the date and time it was expressed, so you can use the oldest batch first. The Breast Milk Starter Set contains 3x pouch bottle holders, 3x Closer to Nature® breast-like slow-flow nipples, 3x pre-sterilized milk storage pouches, and 1x breast pump adapter set. Don’t store expressed breast milk in the door of your fridge or freezer, as this will expose it to temperature changes as the door opens and closes.

If you’re not sure of the temperature setting of your fridge, use the breast milk within three days to be safe. How long can you store breast milk in the freezer?

How to store breast milk at work

Once it’s been expressed by hand or using a breast pump, store your breast milk in a sterilised container, freezer bag, pouch, or bottle with a well-fitting storage lid.

Breast milk that's been pumped at different times on the same day can be stored in the same pot or pouch. Don’t worry if it's separated into layers after being stored – this is normal and it's just the hindmilk and foremilk. All you need to do is give it a swirl to re-mix before you feed your little one. Can I store breast milk in a bottle? Generally, freshly expressed breast milk should be fine for up to six hours at room temperature, or for four hours or less when it's been thawed from frozen. Can I put breast milk that was pumped at different times on the same day into one container?Guidelines for storage of expressed breast milk at room temperature (between 16-25 °C) vary greatly, and it’s important to remember that warmer temperatures allow bacteria to grow at a faster rate. If you want to take some expressed breast milk with you when you go out, make sure it's in a securely sealed container to avoid spills, and that it stays chilled until needed. Our insulated bottle bags are perfect for protecting your breast milk on the move. Yes, you can store expressed milk in a feeding bottlewith a secure storage lid. But if you're planning on putting your expressed milk into the freezer, it's best to use a plastic bottle or container, rather than one that’s made of glass. That's because glass is prone to breaking when stored in very cold temperatures. You can also store smaller quantities of around 30ml for days when your baby is feeling extra hungry! Wash your hands thoroughly before expressing, handling, and storing your breast milk, and sterilise any equipment or surfaces you use.

When freezing breast milk, it's a good idea to leave a 2.5cm gap at the top of the container for expansion. It's easiest to freeze milk in individual feed quantities of 60 to 125ml (until you know how much your baby has per feed), then it's ready to be defrosted when needed.

Do not add breast milk that is warm to any frozen breast milk you have stored. This will cause the milk to partially thaw.
