In the initial stages of breast feeding the mothers should breast feed the baby about 12 times during the day. It should be noted as the baby tends to grow the time between each feed lengthens as the baby tends to drink more milk. It should be noted that some of the mothers who tend to resort to partial formula feeding for their babies notice their supply of breast milk gradually decreasing. It should be noted that mothers can also store their breast milk for future use.
The milk should be ideally stored by the mothers in a glass  bottle which is sterilized. It is important for all the mothers that they do not store the milk in plastic bags.

It is to be noted that if the milk is stored in plastic bags it tends to lose some important antibodies which are always useful for the babies. The mothers can if possible label each of the sterilized milk pack with appropriate dates so that will be beneficial for use later on. There are lot of free literature provided by the companies with respect to breast feeding, these  companies besides providing free baby samples also provide these free literature. These free literature along with the free baby samples provided by the companies are useful for all mothers.
