New Edition NZ have a page on breastfeeding advice, and here they advise on  storing your breast milk. Once you have expressed using your Pumpd pump you can leave your breast milk in your pump at room temperate for up to four hours. They recommend making sure your lid is securely attached so no nasties can fall into your milk, and to prevent spills. In hot summer months they suggest no more than two hours.

You can then transfer your breastmilk into a sealed container from your pump and this can last up to two days in the fridge. Once your milk is in the fridge, do not add any freshly expressed milk to this until it has cooled to the same temperature.

If you wish to freeze your milk and start building a stash for later, they recommend freezing your milk as soon as possible and keep your milk as close to the back of the freezer as possible. Breastmilk will last up to six months in your usual separate door freezer and up to one year in a deep freeze.

The fresher the better with breast milk, so they suggest dating your stored milk and keep on top of rotating your frozen supply. Ensuring you are using milk quickly keeps those bacteria fighting properties, vitamins and antioxidants strong, and for more information on breast feeding UK please go to http://www.neweditionnz.co.uk/ .
