When you first start pumping it can all seem a bit overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you need to choose a breast pump, a sterilizing method, a bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then once you\u2019ve figured out all that, and how to actually do it, you need to safely store the stuff before giving it to your baby.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry, this guide has you covered!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll show you the best way to keep your extra milk and make the most of your storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Can I Store Breast Milk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is likely at some point you will want to store your breast milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether this is to be given while you are not with your baby, or overnight so your partner can help with night feeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how long can you actually keep milk for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fresher you can give your milk the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breast milk contains proteins and nutrients specific to your baby’s current needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this, it’s a good idea to use your oldest milk first to keep your stash as fresh as possible<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time some of the antibodies and nutrients found in milk will degrade, and freezing causes additional damage as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, formula milk does not contain any maternal antibodies, so frozen breastmilk is still worth giving.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no consensus on the exact amount of time breast milk can be kept and you will find small differences with each source you use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use the rule of 6 as its for me to remember<\/p>\n\n\n\n
