Learn how to pump & store it
 

Plan to start pumping about 2 to 3 weeks before you go to work, get to
know your breast pump, and learn how to use it. Start pumping at home
and practice how it works. During your practicing, you can start
storing the milk and use it to feed your baby when you return to
work.

When you start to pump for the first time, you may not get that much
milk. The more you breast-feed and pump, the more milk you will
produce. So try not to get too frustrated, this can be tiring at
times. After a few days of pumping, you will start to get more milk.

When you pump, it takes about the same amount of time as breast-
feeding. Pumping your breast can take about 10 to 15 minutes. Also,
try to pump as much as you can while you're at work to keep up with
your milk supply. If you don't pump as much as breast-feeding your
baby at home, your breast would get really full and can be painful.
You will start to pump more often once your baby goes through growth
spurts.

You can store your breast milk in a sterile sealable bag containers,
glass or plastic bottles. Always store same amount of breast milk you
usually feed you baby in the containers to prevent wasting excess
milk. Also breast pump kits already come with milk storage
containers.

Breast milk can be stored at room temperature (less than 77degrees
Fahrenheit) for about 4 to 8 hours. You can store your breast milk in
the back of refrigerator for about 3 to 8 days and back of freezer for
about 3 months.
