2. Pumping Tips
   • Pump eight or more times in 24 hours
   • Label bottle with baby’s name, date and time you pumped
   • Combine milk from the left and right bottles if needed, never combine warm and cold milk
   • Fill bottles no more than ¾ full (milk expands when it is frozen)
   • Milk is good for four hours at room temperature and four days in the refrigerator
   • Frozen milk is good for 3-12 months depending on type of freezer
   • Thawed milk is good for 24 hours
   • Clean your pump parts after each pumping with soap and water in a separate basin and sterilize the parts once a day using the sterilization bag in the lactation room
