handling the pre-sterilised bag.
- Â Â Â Inspect bags before use and dispose of if
damaged.
- Â Â Â For your reference, mark each bag with name,
date and time when you expressed the milk.
- Â Â Â Tear open horizontally along perforated edge,
at the top, in direction of the arrowhead.
- Â Â Â Hold opened bag with one hand and use the
other hand to pour freshly expressed breast milk into the bag slowly,
not filling the bag beyond 150ml.

fingers to zip close the bag.

separate hard sided container until the milk has frozen.

fridge for 24 hours or back of freezer for 3 months.

door of either the fridge or freezer.
How do I thaw frozen breast milk?
- Â Â Â Thaw/defrost the oldest breast milk first.
Check reference date and time written on each bag.
- Â Â Â Thaw the frozen milk overnight in the fridge,
or, for immediate use, immerse bag in warm (not hot) water until milk
is fully defrosted. Pour milk into sterilised feeding bottle, feeding
cup or spoon.

this will enable bacteria to multiply in the milk.

boiling water. This will reduce milk's nutrients.

thawed/defrosted.

the top corner with a clean pair of scissors and pour into a sterilised
feeding bottle, feeding cup or spoon.

swirl (do not shake) it to evenly distribute the creamy portion of the

gently swirl the bag to mix the milk layers.
- Â Â Â Remember to always check the temperature of
the milk before feeding your baby.
