Breast milk storage is an important consideration of breastfeeding for mothers who want to ensure that their baby has access to breast milk even when they are not around. The first step in breast milk storage is to make sure that you have a clean and sterile container to store it in. You can use a breast milk storage bag or a clean glass or plastic container with an airtight lid. These can be a very convenient and reliable tool for breastfeeding mothers who want to ensure that their milk is stored properly and safely to ensure that baby gets the best nutrition possible.

Breast milk storage bags are specially designed to be used for storing breast milk and are made of durable materials that can withstand freezing and thawing. They are also pre-sterilised, meaning that they are safe for use as soon as you take them out of the box. When it comes to using breast milk storage bags, it is important to properly label each bag with the date, time, and amount of milk that is in the bag. This will help you keep track of how much breast milk you have stored and when it was pumped. Additionally, it is important to properly store the bags in the freezer or refrigerator to ensure that the milk stays fresh and safe for consumption.

Breast milk storage containers are also available. These are reusable and can be sterilised in between uses. The main advantage of these is that the container is often a bottle base and therefore the lid can be exchanged with a teat for baby to directly feed from (no pouring milk into the bottle reducing the risk of losing even a drop). This also means it can be used with bottle accessories such as cooler bags that allow you to transport your milk with you wherever you go.

Proper storage of breast milk is crucial to maintain its nutritional and immune-boosting properties, and the storage bags and containers available at Baby City are designed and made by leading manufacturers in the industry, providing a safe, trusted and convenient way to do so.
