title: Mother's own expressed breast milk: guide-lines for storage.
abstract: Guide-lines for milk collection and storage must aim to provide human milk with a composition as similar as possible to that stored within the human breast. The way in which milk is collected and stored has a significant effect on milk composition. Polyethylene storage bags should not be used to store milk for hospitalized infants. Glass containers fitted with an air-tight seal maintain immunoglobulin stability, and minimise fat loss.
