Click here to see our selection of Breast milk storage bags.

Breast milk storage bags make it possible for a mother to be away from her baby without worrying about her baby not getting enough food. After all, a mother can pump her breast milk and put it in a breast milk storage bags (some pumps can pump directly into the storage bag), and then place the breast milk storage bags in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.

In fact, it is a good idea to always have at least a little breast milk stored in the freezer, in case the mother is unexpectedly called away from her baby. Whenever you place milk in the fridge or freezer, be sure to label it with the date. This is very important because while breast milk can last for a relatively long time when properly stored, it cannot last forever, and you want to be sure that your baby is getting the best milk possible. So, how long can breast milk last?

· Room temperature – do not leave breast milk at room temperature for longer than 4-8 hours.
· Refrigerator – breast milk can stay safe in the fridge for 3-8 days. If you know it will not be used within this time, transfer the milk (in a freezer-safe breast milk storage bag) into the freezer.
· Freezer – up to 6 months (but it is best if you use it within 3-4 months). Take note: once the frozen milk has been thawed, do not refreeze it!

When storing your breast milk, store only small portions in your breast milk storage bags. Remember that once the frozen milk has thawed, it should not be refrozen – smaller portions means less wasted milk. Also realize that other containers besides breast milk storage bags can be used to store breast milk (this is especially important to realize if you want to cut down on waste). Even sterilized baby food jars can be used in lieu of breast milk storage bags.
