• If desired, warm the milk to body temperature by
placing it in a NUK
Single 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.

Comments
Containers should be covered and kept as cool
as possible; covering the container with a cool
towel may keep milk cooler.
Keep ice packs in contact with milk containers
at all times, limit opening cooler bag.
Store milk in the back of the main body of the
refrigerator.
Store milk toward the back of the freezer, where
temperature is most constant. Milk stored for
longer durations in the ranges listed is safe,
but some of the lipids in the milk undergo
degradation resulting in lower quality.

Do not refreeze thawed breast milk.
