How to Freeze Breast Milk in Playtex Disposable Liners

Similar to other perishable food items, breast milk has a time frame in which it must be used. When you preserve the freshness, you are also preserving important nutrients and avoiding spoilage. While you can store fresh breast milk on the countertop for a few hours or in the refrigerator for a few days, freezing it in Playtex Disposable Liners enables you to keep the milk fresh for a few months, instead.

Instructions

1

Fill the Playtex Disposable Liner with as much breast milk as the baby will consume in one feeding, but leave a one-inch space at the top of the plastic bag.

2

Wipe off the inside and outside of the top inch of the disposable liner with a paper towel so milk residue won't prevent the plastic bag from being properly sealed. Seal the bag; just before you get to the end of the seal, squeeze excess air from the bag then seal it the rest of the way.

3




Label the plastic liners to ensure the milk is used before it gets too old.

Write the date on a self-stick adhesive label and attach it to the disposable liner. If the baby goes to a daycare center, add the baby's name to the label as well. By writing the date the milk is expressed and stored, you can be sure to always use the oldest milk first.

4

Place the plastic bag of milk in the back of the freezer to prevent it from being affected by the temperature change that occurs in the front of the freezer as a result of opening and closing the door.
