For most mothers the easiest and most efficient way to feed your baby breastmilk is usually at the breast, but there may be occasions when this is not possible and you need to express your milk.
Your expressed milk can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place it on the fridge shelf, rather than in the door, to ensure it is kept at a constant temperature.
After thawing, frozen breastmilk can be stored in the fridge for up to 12 hours. You can also use disposable cups for storing milk, but don’t forget to write the date on it so you know when it was expressed.
Keep your expressed milk fresh by storing it in sterilised feeding bottles. Philips Avent feeding bottles all come with secure tops to seal in the freshness and make breast milk storage fuss free.
