part of the refrigerator (this is at the back of the glass shelf above the vegetable
compartment).
Freezing
• You can freeze expressed breastmilk in milk bottles or "Pump & Save"* bags. Do
not fill the bottles or bags more than ¾ full to allow space for possible expansion.
• Label the bottles or "Pump & Save" bags with the date of expression.
Thawing
Warning
Do not thaw frozen breastmilk or do not warm breastmilk in a microwave or a pan of
boiling water to avoid loss of vitamins, minerals and other important components and
to prevent burns.
• ln order to preserve the components of the breastmilk, thaw the milk in the refrig-
erator overnight. Alternatively, you can hold the bottle or "Pump & Save" bag under
warm water (max. 37 °C).
• Gently swirl the bottle or "Pump & Save" bag to mix any fat that has separated.
Avoid shaking or stirring the milk.
