Store breast milk in food-grade glass or BPA-free plastic containers and bags.At room temperature (up to 25°C), the milk lasts for up to 4 hours.In the refrigerator (4°C), it remains safe for use for up to 4 days.Wash silicone nipples after every use with warm, soapy water and a brush.Ensure you scrub the tip thoroughly to remove any dried milk residue.Sterilize them daily by boiling for five minutes or using a steam sterilizer.
