Introduce a bottle when your baby is 4-6 weeks old and nursing well. Purchase or rent a high-quality breast pump. Wash hands before pumping. Relax during pumping. Store breastmilk in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours or the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw by placing the frozen milk in warm water. Never microwave. Do not refreeze.
