The milk you express for your baby is a precious fluid. It combines the best possible nutrition with antibodies, live cells and other substances that protect babies from infection and help them grow and develop. You´ll want to take good care of it and how you store it will affect how well it is preserved.

Lansinoh breast milk storage bags are made from food safe polyethylene (PE). A special method of manufacture is used which allows us to work without additives and without plasticizers. In this way we can prevent any substances which might be harmful for your baby getting into your breast milk.

Please take care and handle Lansinoh milk storage bags with care when storing it and reomoving it from your freezer and especially when defrosting. For instance, if a bag is dropped on the floor, or if it is damaged in a different way, it might leak when defrosting.

Tear off the safety seal at the top of the bag and open by gently pulling the zipper seal apart.

Lansinoh milk storage bags are pre-sterilized and do not need to be washed before use.

Pour breast milk into the Lansinoh milk storage bag.

Before closing the bag, read the fill quantity by means of the imprinted scale, close the bag and mark the content in the inscription area.

Bags can be stored upright or flat in the fridge or freezer. When stored flat, bags are easier to thaw.

To avoid freezer burn, the air should be removed from Lansinoh milk storage bags as completely as possible before freezing. For this, take the bag between your forefinger and middle finger (like scissors) and press the air above the liquid level towards the zipper.

Seal the bag by compressing the double seal. Repeat the procedure to ensure
safe sealing.

Instructions for defrosting

To preserve the precious substances contained in your milk, defrosting should be done as gently as possible: either very slowly within 24 hours in the fridge or at room temperature. Avoid using boiling water or a microwave! If necessary, defrosting can be done also under running cold or lukewarm water (max. 37°C), in tap water or in a bottle heater.

After defrosting, put the milk back into the fridge until consumption. Before opening, the bag containing defrosted breastmilk can be kept in the fridge during 24 hours.

After opening the bag, the defrosted milk must be kept in the fridge and consumed within 12 hours. After warming up, remainders of a milk meal must be discarded. If the milk settles down in different layers, mix it by shaking the bag carefully.
