Abstract

This NebFact discusses the guidelines for collecting, storing, and heating human milk. Most important are clean conditions from washing your hands, cleaning containers and pumps thoroughly. Proper storing of human milk is important when storing either in the refrigerator or freezer. And last but not least is how to warm the milk for consumption by the baby.
