🔸️Make sure to collect your milk under very clean conditions and sterilize pump parts every 24 hours. ⠀
⠀
🔸️If you have taken the milk out of the freezer to thaw, it is good in the fridge for 24 hours or on the counter for 1-2 hours. Do not refreeze breastmilk once it's been thawed! ⠀
⠀
🔸️If you have some milk leftover after a feed (baby didn't finish) use the milk within 2 hours after the finished feeding. ⠀
