Breastmilk Storage and Thawing Guidelines for
Healthy Term Babies
Check with your healthcare professional for specific storage instructions. When
freezing breastmilk, store in the freezer section. Do not store breastmilk in the
freezer door as the temperature can fluctuate when the door is opened and
closed. Before storing, date all breastmilk and use the oldest breastmilk first.

- DO NOT heat breastmilk using boiling water or a microwave.
- Date breastmilk and use the oldest first.
- Transport breastmilk in an insulated container (i.e. a cooler box with a
freezer brick) and place in fridge on arrival.
Thawing
To preserve the quality of your breastmilk defrost as gently as possible – either
in the fridge or at room temperature. Do not use boiling water or a microwave.
If needed you can defrost breastmilk under running cold or lukewarm water or
in a bottle heater (max 37ºC). Unopened, the bag containing breastmilk can be
kept in the fridge for 24 hours if defrosted in the fridge, or for 4 hours (or until
next feed) if defrosted outside the fridge. After warming, any remaining milk
must be discarded. If the milk settles into different layers, you can mix it by
carefully shaking the bag.

Troubleshooting for the Lansinoh
®
Manual Breast Pump
Lack of Suction / Decreased Suction / No Breastmilk Expressed
If it feels like the suction has decreased, try the following:
1.
Make sure that all pump parts have been properly dried and properly
assembled.
2.
Inspect the white valve for a tear or pinhole. This component is critical to
achieving proper suction. If necessary, replace the white valve with the
spare valve provided with the pump.
3.
Ensure that the silicone diaphragm and stem is fitted securely to the
breast cushion body and a perfect seal is created.
4.
Ensure that the Comfort-Fit™ Breast Cushion is fitted securely to the breast
cushion body and a perfect seal is created.
5.
If your nipple is unable to be centred within the tunnel of the breast cushion
without rubbing, you may need a larger size Comfort-Fit™ Breast Cushion. Refer
to Breast Cushion Sizing information.
Pain When Pumping
If you are experiencing pain when expressing breastmilk, try the following:
1.
You may be pumping too hard. It may not be necessary to use all of the suction
that the pump can generate. Try depressing the handle half way using a 2-3
second pumping rhythm.
2.
You may need a different size breast cushion. Simply call 1800 653 737 or email
via www.lansinoh.com.au. For further advice consult your healthcare professional.
