Tommee Tippee Milk Powder Dispensers, 6 Pack

Product Information

The BPA-free pouches are suitable for storage in the fridge or freezer and have space for you to write on the date your breast milk was expressed for organized and safe storage. If you want to feed your baby breast milk shortly after expressing, storing it in the fridge can be preferable over freezing. This is because freezing alters some of the milk’s biologically active components. 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 your baby is going to have the milk at a childminder or nursery, clearly add their name and ask your care provider if they have any other requirements for how it should be labelled and stored. How to store breast milk in the fridge or freezer 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. You can also store smaller quantities of around 30ml for days when your baby is feeling extra hungry!Don’t use bags that aren't designed for freezing – they might burst or tear. Our storage bags are already sterilised and ready for use right away! If you know you won’t be using the breast milk you've expressed within four days and want to store it for longer than five days, it’s best to pop it in the freezer as soon as you can after expressing. This will protect its quality and nutrients. Do not add breast milk that is warm to any frozen breast milk you have stored. This will cause the milk to partially thaw. 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.

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.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. The amount of time breast milk lasts depends on whether it's stored in the fridge or freezer, and at what temperature. You can buy special fridge and freezer thermometers to help you monitor this. How long can you store breast milk in the fridge? Please note, this table aims to provide a guide to how long you can store breast milk for a full-term baby with no additional health concerns. Breast milk is very resilient and stores well in the fridge or freezer because of its antibacterial properties. It can either be frozen or refrigerated depending on when you're planning to use it. These storage methods can extend its shelf life, but just like any other foodstuff, breast milk does expire over time.
