Expressing your breast milk

Important tips for feeding the baby with your expressed milk

  • Do not heat the milk directly on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Test the temperature before feeding it to your baby by putting a few drops on your wrist. It should feel warm, not hot.
  • Sometimes the creamy part of the milk rises to the top of the expressed milk. If this happens, swirl the milk to mix the fat without shaking the expressed breastmilk.
  • You can give the expressed milk with a spoon, cup or syringe feeding. If you choose to give the expressed milk with one of these methods, please ask the nurse to show you how.
