Pumping and breast milk storage

Expressing milk gives you flexibility — but it only helps if you know what's in the fridge and how long it's good for. A quick log of every session keeps your stash organized and safe.

How long expressed breast milk keeps

• Room temperature: up to about 4 hours.
• Fridge: up to about 4 days.
• Freezer: up to about 6 months (best within 3).

Why log pumping

• Know how much you have and avoid waste.
• See your output trend across the day and week.
• Balance direct feeds and expressed milk more confidently.
