Power Options (continued)
If batteries are in the pump, but AC adapter is in use, the pump will use the adapter to
power the pump, not the batteries. For best performance, we recommend using your pump
with the AC adapter provided. The AC adapter provided has a universal AC input and can be
used with 120Vac and 230Vac systems with 50Hz and 60Hz mains power. The Affinity pump
is intended to only be used with the provided external adapter (Lansinoh part # 50455) by
BridgePower Corporation, JMW110-KA-09-00-G-07, with electrical rating 110-230 V AC,
50-60Hz.
Breastmilk Storage And Thawing Guidelines
For Healthy Term Babies
Check with your midwife, health visitor or breastfeeding counsellor for specific storage
instructions. When you are freezing your breastmilk, do not fill containers more than ¾ full to
allow for expansion from freezing. Date containers with the date you expressed your milk for
future reference.

Note:
DO NOT store breastmilk in freezer door. The door tends to be the warmest part of the freezer.
Date all breastmilk and use the oldest breastmilk first.
Thawing
Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or place the containers under cool running water,
gradually warming the water until the milk is thawed. Thawed milk can be kept in a refrigerator
for up to 24 hours.
NOTE:
DO NOT refreeze milk once it is thawed.
Gently shake thawed milk before feeding to baby to mix the layers that have separated.
Breastmilk is not homogenized and the “cream” will rise to the top of the bottle. Breastmilk
can vary in colour and consistency depending upon the time of the day that the milk was
expressed, what you have eaten, and the age of the baby at the time of pumping.
NOTE: DO NOT MICROWAVE HUMAN MILK! Microwaving alters the composition of the milk.
Microwaving also may create “hot spots” in the milk that could burn the infant.
NOTE: DO NOT thaw breastmilk in hot or boiling water.
