How do I store breast milk?

•     Express breast milk, using the Snookums Manual
  or Electric Breast Pump.


•     Wash hands well with soap and water before
  handling the pre-sterilised bag.


•     Inspect bags before use and dispose of if
  damaged.


•     For your reference, mark each bag with name,
  date and time when you expressed the milk.


•     Tear open horizontally along perforated edge,
  at the top, in direction of the arrowhead.


•     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.


•     Before sealing bag, squeeze out air and use
  fingers to zip close the bag.


•     For best results, keep the bag upright, in
  separate hard sided container until the milk has frozen.


•     Store breast milk bag in the back of the
  fridge for 24 hours or back of freezer for 3 months.


•     Do not store Breast Milk Storage Bags in the
  door of either the fridge or freezer.

How do I thaw frozen breast milk?

•     Thaw/defrost the oldest breast milk first.
  Check reference date and time written on each bag.


•     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.


•     Never thaw frozen milk at room temperature, as
  this will enable bacteria to multiply in the milk.


•     Never thaw breast milk in microwave oven or
  boiling water. This will reduce milk's nutrients.


•     Only warm milk, after milk has been
  thawed/defrosted.


•     Thawed milk can be stored in a fridge for up
  to 24 hours.


•     Discard any remaining milk. Don't refreeze
  thawed or partially thawed breast milk.

How do I use breast milk bags?

•     When ready to use, open the seal or cut off
  the top corner with a clean pair of scissors and pour into a sterilised
  feeding bottle, feeding cup or spoon.


•     Before offering the milk to your baby, gently
  swirl (do not shake) it to evenly distribute the creamy portion of the
  milk that rises to the top of the container during storage.


•     If the breast milk has separated into layers,
  gently swirl the bag to mix the milk layers.


•     Remember to always check the temperature of
  the milk before feeding your baby.

Safety

•     Always check temperature of the liquid on the
  inside of your arm before feeding.


•     Do not top up bags by adding previously
  expressed or frozen milk. Discard any unused milk.


•     To avoid the growth of bacteria, never allow
  breast milk to stand at room temperature.


•     Do not refreeze unused breast milk or keep for
  later.


•     This product is not a toy. Keep bags out of
  the reach of children. It is a choking hazzard.

  with your baby's natural way of breastfeeding.

  own but always under adult supervision.
