Storing your milk in the freezer

To store in the freezer, use a sealing disc in place of the teat and

dome cap or use a sterilised VIA lid to seal the VIA cup. The storage
containers should be clearly labelled with the date and time of
expression and older milk used up first.

NEVER refreeze breast milk. DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already

frozen milk. ALWAYS discard any milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

11. Feeding your baby your expressed breast milk

If breast milk has been stored in an AVENT Breast Milk

Container, replace the sealing disc with a sterilised
AVENT teat.

Alternatively replace the VIA lid with a sterilised VIA

adaptor, screw ring, dome cap and AVENT teat.

Frozen breast milk should be defrosted overnight in the

refrigerator. However, in an emergency, it can be defrosted
in a jug of hot water. Once thawed use within 24 hours.

Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any other bottle feed.

stand the Philips AVENT bottle or VIA feeding system in a bowl of hot
water, or alternatively, for a safe and fast way to warm feeds, use
the Philips AVENT bottle and baby food warmer. IMPORTANT! Milk
or food will heat faster in VIA cups than in standard feeding bottles/
containers. Always check milk or food temperature before feeding.

Never heat milk in a microwave as this may destroy valuable nutrients

and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating may cause hot spots
in the liquid which could cause burns to the throat.

Never immerse a frozen milk container or VIA cup in boiling water as

this may cause it to crack/split.

Never put boiling water directly into a VIA cup, allow to cool for

around 20 minutes before filling.
