What is the best way to store and pool breast milk?

You can store breast milk in clean glass jars, mason jars, or dedicated milk storage containers. When pooling milk, the most important rule is to only combine milk that is at the same temperature; avoid adding freshly pumped, warm milk directly to already refrigerated milk, as the temperature change can compromise the milk. Once your freshly pumped milk has cooled in the refrigerator, it can then be safely combined with other stored milk from that day.
