If the breast milk is not to be used immediately,
you should seal the filled bottle well and store it in
the refrigerator.
Caution! Only the bottle with its lid should be
stored in the refrigerator, not the entire NUK
Sensitive Breast Pump.
11.1 NUK Breast Milk Container
The breast milk may be chilled, frozen and thawed
out again in the breast milk container. The
container 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
container with more than 150 ml (5 fl.oz), as
breast milk expands as it freezes and the container
could burst.

11.2 Tips for Handling Breast Milk

• Breast milk may be stored in a refrigerator
(but not in the refrigerator door) for up to 72
hours at +4 °C.
• The maximum storage time in the freezer
compartment of the refrigerator is 2 weeks,
and in a freezer it is 6 months at
– 18 °C.
• If transporting chilled breast milk make sure
that it stays chilled at all times otherwise the
milk could turn sour and be harmful to your
baby. Use a cooler bag, for example, with ice
packs.
• Thawed milk may be stored unopened at
4 °C for up to 24 hours.
If at some stage the appliance is no longer fit for
use, the parts can be disposed of along with
normal household waste.

11. Storing Milk

• Once the container has been opened, the
maximum storage time is 12 hours at 4 °C.
• The milk may be thawed out in the bottle
either in the refrigerator, or, if required
immediately, by standing in warm water.
• To attain the correct feed temperature of
approx. 37 °C, place the container in a NUK
Baby Food Warmer.
• Caution: Breast milk must not be thawed out
in a microwave as this will destroy valuable
nutrients as well as causing possible damage to
the container material, which may cause the
risk of explosion. Uneven heating may 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 health visitor, midwife, doctor or
chemist for more detailed information about
long-term storage.
