General breast milk handling guidelines
• Write the date on the storage container. Include your child's name if you are giving the milk
to a childcare provider.
• Gently swirl the container to mix the cream part of the breast milk that may rise to the
top back into the rest of the milk. Do not shake the milk. This can make some of the milk's
valuable parts break down.
• Refrigerate or chill milk right after it is pumped, if possible. You can put it in the refrigerator,
place it in a cooler or insulated cooler pack, or freeze it in small (60 to 120ml) batches for
later feedings. Pumped milk, at room temperature (≤=25°C) is safe to use without being
refrigerated for up to 4 hours after pumping.
