13.1 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 150ml (5 fl.oz), as breast milk
expands as it freezes and the container could burst.
13.2 Tips for Handling Breast Milk
• To attain the correct feed temperature of approx.
37°C, place the container in a NUK Baby Food
Warmer.
Note:
The container must be open to prevent
pressure building up as the milk is warmed.
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 to your baby.
• 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 nurse, midwife, doctor or
paediatrician for more detailed information
about long-term storage.
