6- Storing your milk

Pour the milk into a clean container which you can seal and date, such as a Bébé Confort storage pot or bag. You can also use a bottle (G) as a

storage container by closing it with a Bébé Confort sealing disk (P).

When you are ready to use the milk, remove it from the refrigerator or freezer. Defrost the milk in the refrigerator for a few hours, then at room
temperature. You can warm it up if you wish. Roll the bottle between your hands to ensure the temperature is uniform.

Only store milk expressed with a sterilised breast pump for your baby.

NEVER refreeze breast milk once it has been thawed.

Never add freshly expressed milk to frozen milk.

Always throw away any milk your baby leaves at the end of a feed.

Do not keep the milk in the door of the refrigerator (the temperature there is higher than in the rest of the refrigerator).

Do not mix formula milk with breast milk.

7- Instructions for use

You may be new to using a breast pump. It is normal to find it a little difficult to start with. Your Bébé Confort breast pump has been designed

to be

easy to use; it will soon become second nature.

The shield was designed to be used under a bra.

Everyone is different and it is up to you to choose the best time for expressing your milk. You may find the

best times are:

• When you wake up and your breasts are full, just before or after the first feed of the day.
• After a feed if your baby has not emptied your breasts completely.
• When you feel your breasts are swollen.
