How should I store expressed breast milk?

Published on 01 April 2025

You can store breast milk in the refrigerator (below 4⁰C/39⁰F) for up to 4 days, or in the freezer (below -18⁰C/0⁰F) for 6-12 months using a Philips Avent bottle, storage cup or breast milk storage bag. For long-term storage, deep freezing (below -20⁰C/-4⁰F) is highly recommended.

When taking breast milk with you on the go, use it within 4 hours.
