5. Practical tips
5.1 General notes
•
Prior to expressing, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and wipe the breast
with a damp cloth. To avoid dry, soar or cracked nipples, do not use soap or
alcohol as detergent.
•
Prepare yourself for the expressing with ease. Take a comfortable and relaxed
seat. Gently press the breast shield over the nipple for a tight contact. Start to
express milk.
•
Most pumps have a stimulation mode to support milk production. You can also
use your free hand for an additional breast massage.
•
Express from both breasts alternately, unless instructed otherwise by the
physician. Since expressing times strongly depend on the individual mother, you
are asked to contact your midwife or breastfeeding assistant.
•
Prior to using the product, always check it for external damage and proper
working. Do not use the product in case of faults or faulty functions.
5.2 Storing breast milk
Breast milk can be stored as follows:
•
Freshly expressed milk at room temperature (16 °-29 °C) 3-4 hours
•
In the rear of the fridge (below 4 °C) 3 days
•
In the freezer (-18 °C) 6 months
Fill the used bottles or containers to two thirds only and write down the fill date.
Instead of a bottle, you can also use our specially designed
mamivac
®
breast milk
freezer bags [REF 282100]. Do not defrost frozen breast milk in the microwave,
but at room temperature. Place the bottle or bag in warm water as required. After
defrosting, gently shake the container or bag to mix the milk.
