What's the best way to store breast milk? Question: What's the best way to store breast milk? How long will it stay fresh? BabyCentre Editorial Team: To store breast milk safely, choose containers that are sterilised and airtight. There are a number of breastmilk freezer bags that you can buy to store your milk in but you may find that they are prone to leaks, tears, and punctures and may not be airtight. However, Pam Lacey, Lactation Consultant and Chair of the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers, adds: "Choose freezer bags that are thick, or have a nylon outer, and you should be okay. Alternatively, you could double-bag it." Glass or hard plastic is preferable for storing milk for long periods of time. You may have discovered many different guidelines on how long and where you can store expressed breast milk (EBM). The UK Association of Milk Banking explains that this is because different groups have focused on a particular aspect of milk storage which has been presented in the research, rather than any of the guidelines being incorrect. Some guidelines are targeted at milk stored in sterile conditions in milk banks; others are relevant if you have a very premature baby. The following research-based guidelines come from the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM), and are suitable for a mother storing milk at home for a healthy, term baby. You can store milk: • At room temperature - not warmer than 77°F/25°C - for up to four hours • In a coldbox with refreezable ice packs for up to 24 hours • In a refrigerator with a temperature of 39°F/4°C or colder for three to five days • In an older model single-door refrigerator with freezer compartment inside for two weeks. You can store milk in a freezer for various lengths of time depending on the kind you have. Always keep the milk in the back of the freezer away from the door, because items stored towards the front are more susceptible to changing temperatures when you open the freezer. You can store milk: • In a fridge freezer with a separate door for each, for three months • In a freezer with a temperature of -20°C, that doesn't have a defrost cycle, for six to 12 months. In addition to these guidelines from ABM, it's useful to know that: • You may combine milk you collected that day with frozen milk as long as it's chilled for at least an hour first, and the amount that you are freezing is less than half of the frozen amount. Fresh milk retains more of its protective properties than frozen milk, so whenever possible, use refrigerated rather than frozen milk for feeding your baby. But note that frozen breast milk still has more health benefits than formula milk. • If you are going to freeze breastmilk, do so within 24 hours • Milk that has been moved into the refrigerator from the freezer can be stored there for up to 24 hours Remember, when you are expressing, to wash your hands and keep breast pump parts thoroughly washed, rinsed and sterilised in order to prevent any bacteria from developing in the milk. Expressing and the working mum What are the advantages of expressing at work? Expressing milk at work can be a nuisance, and doing such a personal thing in a work environment can feel strange. But many mothers find that the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience. You are still able to give your baby the health and nutritional advantages of breast milk, and expressing can be a wonderful way of feeling close to your baby during the working day. One of the best things about expressing at work is coming home to a baby who still wants to breastfeed — you get to snuggle with her immediately, re-establish your bond, and nurture her in a way that nobody else can. To make sure your baby will want to feed when you get home, ask your carer not to feed her during the hour before she is expecting you, or only to give her enough to take the edge off any hunger. Then you and your baby can look forward to a warm reunion every day. How can I successfully express breastmilk at work? You will need: • A pump — a double electric one is most efficient • Bottles • Access to a refrigerator or a chiller box • Breast pads Start expressing milk at home before returning to work so you know what to expect and can get used to the odd sensation of having two cones pushed up against your breasts. You will probably collect very little milk at first, but soon you'll have several ounces after every 15- to 20-minute expressing session. Ideally, you should have access to a private room, such as an unused office or conference room, or even a large, clean storeroom with a chair, a table, and a power point. Ask the human resources staff for suggestions, and try to enlist the support of a colleague or manager. If there's some demand (even two mothers is enough), you could lobby to create a nursing mothers' area in the office. The worst-case scenario is having to express in a lavatory cubicle, but many women have done so — successfully — for months. Should I tell my colleagues that I'm expressing? You don't have to tell your colleagues what you're doing during your breaks if you feel uncomfortable, but you should tell your line manager. She needs to know that expressing milk won't interfere with your work, so reassure her that by feeding your baby in this way, you will have much more peace of mind that your baby is only getting the best. This will leave you free to concentrate exclusively on work whilst you are there. The Maternity Alliance (see A-Z of organisations) runs an advice line and produces many booklets and fact sheets that can help you find out about your rights concerning returning to work and taking breaks for breastfeeding or expressing. How can I maximise my milk flow? Relax and look at your baby's picture, or visualise her while you are expressing. Many mothers find that once they get the breast pump working well, they can use the time to catch up on work-related reading. When should I express? It's really up to you, but try to do it at the same time every day. If you can pump every three hours, you will probably be able to produce all the milk your baby needs. Pumping once or twice a day may be more realistic, though, and it will be enough to keep up your milk supply to cover morning, evening, and weekend feeds. How do I transport, store, and thaw breast milk? • Start building a supply of breast milk before you return to work. You'll feel much more confident expressing if you've already established that you can fill those little bags or bottles — plus it's reassuring to set off for work with a good supply of breast milk in the freezer. • Pump and store milk either in glass or plastic bottles or plastic bags made especially for this purpose. Research suggests that white blood cells may cling to glass, though not to plastic, making plastic a better choice. Label and date the bottles and bags, and use the oldest ones first. Leave room at the top of each bottle or bag for expansion during freezing. • Store freshly expressed milk (well-labelled as yours) in the office refrigerator or a cooler while at work. Bring it home in a cooler with an ice pack if your journey is longer than 30 minutes. • If you refrigerate or chill freshly pumped milk, you can add it to a bottle of already frozen milk. • If you refrigerate the milk you pump on Monday, your carer can give it to your baby on Tuesday, and so on. • Thaw milk by holding the bottle or bag under warm running water or by placing it in a bowl of warm water. Do not use the microwave or the hob: high heat will destroy some nutrients. The milk will have separated, so you will need to shake it gently while thawing or before giving it to your baby.
