Using Your Breast Milk; Troubleshooting - Evenflo SimplyGo 5212911 Manual

Using Your Breast Milk

1. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator. Avoid letting milk sit out at room temperature
to thaw. (For quicker thawing, hold container under running water – start
with cool water and gradually increase the temperature.)
2. Just before feeding, warm the milk by:
• Using a bottle warmer,
• Holding the sealed bottle under warm, running water, or
• Heating water in a cup or other small container, then placing frozen milk in
the water to warm.
3. The milk fat may separate during thawing. If so, gently swirl milk (do not
shake) to mix before offering it to baby.
4. Push an Evenflo ® nipple through the cap ring and screw onto the bottle.
5. Always test the temperature of the milk before feeding.
IMPORTANT!
• NEVER microwave human milk or heat it directly on the stove.
• Previously frozen milk may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours after it
has finished thawing. DO NOT re-freeze.
• If baby does not finish milk at one feeding, it may be refrigerated and
offered at the next feeding before it is discarded.
• DO NOT pour freshly pumped breast milk onto frozen breast milk because
thawing can occur.
• Fill containers 3/4 full, as milk expands with freezing.
