Breastmilk: Pumping, Collecting, Storing
"Fresh breastmilk" contains the most active anti-infective properties. Refrigerated breastmilk has fewer anti-infective properties than fresh milk and frozen breastmilk has the least.
Storing Expressed Milk
You can express your milk and store it in clean containers. Your partner or a sitter can feed it to the baby. This way, your baby gets the benefits of your milk even when you can't be there at feeding time. Follow these guidelines for milk storage.
