Introduction

Mommies may feel more at ease knowing that when they are away, babies can still benefit from the freshly expressed breast milk. A fantastic approach to make sure babies continue to receive all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from breast milk is to pump it and store it. Breast milk storage bags are a simple, space-saving method to do this.

Useful Tips for Breast Milk Storage

  1. Clearly label the breast milk with the date it was expressed.

  2. Do not store breast milk in the door of the refrigerator or freezer, as it will cause the breast milk from temperature changes due to the door opening and closing.
  3. If mommies don’t think the freshly expressed breast milk will be used within 4 days, freeze it right away. This will help to protect the quality of the breast milk.

  4. Store small amounts to avoid wasting milk that might not be finished. Store in 2 to 4 ounces or the amount offered at one feeding.
  5. Leave about one inch of space at the top of the container because breast milk expands as it freezes.

  6. If mommies wish to deliver breast milk to a child care provider, clearly label the container with the child’s name. Talk to your child care provider about any other requirements for labelling and storing breast milk.
  7. Breast milk can be stored in an insulated cooler with frozen ice packs for up to 24 hours when mommies are travelling. At the destination, use the milk right away, store it in the refrigerator, or freeze it.

Steps to store breast milk into milk storage bag

  1. Firstly, choose a milk storage bag that is good in quality, free from BPA and BPS, and free from chemical smell.

  2. Directly pumping breast milk or pouring freshly expressed breast milk from breast pump into the milk storage bag.
  3. Mommies should label the baby’s name and the date and time of the breast milk collection on the milk storage bag. It is important to label the date and time on the milk storage bag because it enables the mothers to identify the older breast milk to be used first.

  4. Mommies should always remove the trapped air from the milk storage bag that contains  mother’s milk to prolong its freshness. Moreover, the bubbles in the milk often lead to a freezer burn that interferes with its quality. It can also cause digestion problems in babies.
  5. After that, it is best for mommies to store the breast milk in a refrigerator that has a freezer compartment with a separate freezer door. It is best to place the breast milk toward the back and away from the freezer door to avoid these temperature changes.

Can mommies reuse milk storage bags ?

No. Mommies should not reuse the milk storage bag. From a strictly health perspective, it is  recommended that milk storage bags can only be used for just once. This is because a reused milk storage bag could pose a possible bacteria risk to babies due to hygiene reasons. Hence, mommies must discard the milk storage bags for one-time use after storing milk once.
