Safe storage of breastmilk 💜

Always use a sterile container with a lid to store your milk, and put it in the fridge or freezer as soon as possible.

The best place to store breastmilk is at the back of the fridge (not in the door)

Find out more about expressing and storing milk:

Safe storage of Breastmilk. Milk - Place - Maximum time. Fresh Breastmilk including colostrum. Room temperature - 6 hours. Fridge at 5°C-10°C - 3 days. Fridge at 4°C or lower - 5 days.

Physical copy of Nighttime Breastfeeding, 2nd edition https://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/TomoriNighttime2nd Review from the publisher: “I have nothing but praise for this book and its worth. It is written in a flawless and effortless manner. I loved the tone and how it packs in so much factorial information without the reader knowing it, but at the same time explores in-depth intimate life decisions and care giving practices that we have never seen so closely and so vividly presented.” • James J. McKenna, University of Notre Dame
