How to use Medela Bottles?

Organizer Tray

1. Place the newest bottles or bags of breastmilk in the tray just behind the “IN” arrow, naturally rotating bottles or bags already in the tray toward the “OUT” arrow.
2. When ready to feed, remove the bottle or bag from the side of the tray with the “OUT” arrow.
3. Arrows remind the person feeding the baby that older breastmilk is used first to help prevent wasted/spoiled milk.

Breastmilk Labeling Lids

1. Screw the lid onto the breastmilk bottle and turn gently until secure.
2. Grip the outer section of the lid and pull up to unlock.
3. Turn the outer section of the lid to line up the day of the week with the a.m./p.m. markings on the outer ring. A middle hash mark can be used to indicate the afternoon.
4. Push the outside of the lid down to click and lock it into place. The settings will remain unchanged even if the lid is bumped or the bottle is dropped.

Notes:

• Plastic bottles and component parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped.
• Also, bottles and component parts may become damaged if mishandled, e.g., dropped, overtightened, or knocked over.
• Take appropriate care in handling bottles and components.
• Do not use the breastmilk if bottles or components become damaged.

How to clean?

1. Prior to first use, bring water to a boil, then place lids & bottles in boiling water for 10 minutes.
2. For regular cleaning, all components may be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher. Labeling lids and breastmilk bottles may be sanitized in boiling water for 10 minutes. To hand wash, rinse in cool water to remove breastmilk, wash in warm soapy water and rinse with clear water. Air dry in a clean area and store when not in use. Do NOT store wet or damp parts. Labeling lids and breastmilk bottles may also be sanitized using a Quick Clean Micro-Steam bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the ages for the slow and medium-flow nipples?

• Each silicone nipple is stamped with an “S” for Slow-flow or an “M” for Medium-flow
• Wide base slow flow 0-4 months.
• Wide base medium flow 4-12 months

What are breast milk bottles made out of?

• Medela breast milk bottles are made of FDA food contact grade polypropylene. Medela bottles are BPA-Free and designed for safe feeding and long-term storage of breast milk.
• Polypropylene has a recycle number of 5 or PP stamped into the plastic item. Medela only uses new, virgin materials in the manufacturing of all products.

Can bottle liners be used with Medela breast milk bottles?

Medela does not suggest the use of bottle liners, as anything placed into the bottle can interfere with the valve assembly causing a lack of suction. If you wish to use a bottle liner, pump it into Medela bottles and pour the collected breast milk into the bottle liner.

How do I store my breast milk?

• It is normal for pumped milk to vary in color and consistency depending on your diet. Stored milk will separate into layers, and the cream will rise to the top. Gently swirl (don’t shake) the bottle to mix the milk layers
• Avoid adding freshly pumped milk to already cooled milk. You can add small amounts of cooled breast milk to the same refrigerated container throughout the day- Pumped milk may be added to frozen milk provided it is first chilled, and the quantity is less than what is frozen
• Store your milk in Medela’s BPA-free breast milk collection bottles or storage bags specifically designed for breast milk, such as Medela’s Pump & Save bags.
• Freeze milk in two (2) to four (4) ounce portions. Small amounts thaw more quickly. You will waste less milk this way. Be sure to leave extra room at the top of the container so the bottle or bag will not overflow when freezing or thawing.
• Seal containers tightly. Write the date on a piece of tape and place it on the bag or bottle. Use the oldest milk first.
• If you do not plan to use the milk within a few days, freeze it right away in the coldest section of your freezer.
