If the breast milk is not to be used
immediately, you can seal the filled breast
milk container (8) with the collar (16) and
seal disk (17) as shown in section 4 (17b)
or pour from the container (8) into a NUK
Seal 'n Go
Breast Milk Bag. Store it in the
®
refrigerator. Use an erasable marker to
write the date and time of expressing on
the breast milk container (8).
CAUTION: Only the NUK
Container with the collar (16) and seal disk
(17) should be stored in the refrigerator,
not the entire NUK
Electric Breast Pump.

The breast milk may be chilled or frozen
and thawed out in a sealed breast milk
container (8). The breast milk container
(8) may also be used for re-heating and
feeding. Please always observe the
information below on handling breast milk.
NOTE: When freezing breast milk, do not
fill the breast milk container (8) with more
than 5 fl. oz as breast milk expands as it
freezes and the container may burst.
NOTE: Using the breast milk container for
infant formula or other liquids, besides
breast milk, may lead to discoloration.

• The milk may be thawed out in the
container either in the refrigerator, or,
if required immediately, by standing in
warm water.
®
• If desired, warm the milk to body
temperature by placing it in a NUK
Bottle Warmer, or in a container of
heated water. Always check temperature
of the milk on your wrist before feeding
baby.
CAUTION: Breast milk must not be
thawed out in a microwave as this will
destroy valuable nutrients as well as
cause possible damage to the container
material, which may cause the risk of
explosion. Uneven heating may also result
in scalding!
• The milk should therefore be shaken
gently before feeding to ensure that milk
and milk fats are well mixed and that the
warm breast milk is evenly distributed.
• Defrosted, re-heated or unused milk
must be disposed of and not refrozen.
• If you express breast milk more than
once within a period of 24 hours, the
freshly expressed milk may be added
to the previously cooled breast milk
under the following conditions: The
temperatures must be the same (cold
on cold). Freshly expressed milk must
therefore be cooled first before being
added to milk that is already cool.
• Consult your medical professional for
more detailed information about storage.
