Frequently Asked Questions...
I just bought a manual pigeon breast pump. I intend to work from 3 months from now?
My baby is 2 1/2 weeks old. Am wondering if i have made the right choice. I have heard that prolonged use of pigeon electric pump makes your nipple sore. How much milk can i collect in a day? and can i add on milk in an already collected bottle in a day when i store in a refrigerator.
Answer:
If you are going to work and you use your pump everyday then you might want to consider an electric pump. I tried using an manual pump and I never had any success. I have heard of others using a manual pump but only for occasional use.
I had to exclusively pump because of a long delay in my milk coming in. I had the Medela In Style and I loved it. I used it at least four times a day or more for 12 months. As I was able to keep up with my daughter's milk needs for that long. My breast were sore in the beginning, but after about two weeks they were fine. And is was only using the pump. So if you are also breast feeding directly then I doubt the electric pump should make you that sore.
You can collect a wide range of milk in a day. It just depends on person to person and day to day. Some secessions I would be lucky to get 5 oz total. Then other secessions I could get 16 oz or more at one time. It all just totally depended on many factors for me at least.
You can add milk together (milk from different pumping secessions) in the refrigerator but if one milk is freshly collected you will likely want to leave it out for a few minutes until it gets to about room temperature and then add it to previous milk. Milk in the refrigerator last about 5-7 days. In the freezer (in the door or front) 2-3 months and in the back of the freezer or deep freeze (4-6 months).

The present invention relates to bottles used to hold what are regarded in the market as premium liquid food and beverage products, such as wine, olive oils, boutique vinegars, dressings, and other high value food products, where the aesthetic appearance of the package is an important part of brand image.
Taming the Screw—a manual for winemaking with screw caps", by Tyson Stelzer, 2005, Wine Press, of Brisbane, Australia. On page 48 of this text, Stelzer discusses a process of redraw, which imparts a seal between a liner of a ROTE closure and a side of a bottle finish (near the top) and between the liner and a nominally flat surface on the top of the bottle finish. The process is dependent on the finish on a bottle, known as a "Bague Verre Stelvin" or BVS finish, in which the top of the bottle thread starts 2.8 mm from the top of the bottle. The closure is formed in toward the finish region to achieve the side seal. The redraw process is very popular for ROTE closures because it reduces leakage due to side impact on a top of a closure after a bottle is sealed.
Traditionally, bottles for premium food and beverage products, particularly 750 mm wine bottles, have been made from glass.
However, issues in the market with glass bottles can be the transport weight and the lack of robustness of glass premium packaging.
Bottles made from polymeric material packaging such as PET have a number of advantages compared to glass bottles, such as lower cost, lighter weight, and much greater resistance to shattering. They are also eminently suitable for public events, whereas glass packaging is increasingly becoming restricted from many public events and places, for example sports stadiums, because of the public safety risks of broken glass. Polymeric material packaging is also preferable on aeroplanes as it reduces the risks from broken glass in the tight confines of an aeroplane cabin. These risks could include the use of broken glass in a terrorism event.
However, notwithstanding the above advantages, polymeric material packaging does not have the same market acceptance as glass packaging for premium food and beverage products.
It is desirable to be able to offer to the market a polymeric material package that has premium branding which provides both shelf life performance and brand equity.
The use of a ROTE closure on a closed bottle made from PET or other polymeric materials makes it possible to design bottles having a similar appearance to traditional glass bottles used in this market, thereby potentially improving the perceived value of the product in the mind of consumers. This is particularly the case when the accepted 30×60 mm ROTE closure is used.
In reading this disclosure, it must be understood that the technical functions required of a closure for these premium products, such as ability to close, sealing efficiency, gas barrier, and tamper evidence can readily be achieved by the use of closures other than the 30×60 mm ROTE closures. The reason for the choice of this closure is based entirely on aesthetic and brand image factors, in particular that the 30×60 mm ROTE closure is associated in the minds of many consumers with a premium product.
The matching glass bottle thread designs (finishes) are referred to internationally as the CETIE BVS-GRP-29394 finish or the Rotel-GRP-0417 finish.
The market demand for polymeric material bottles fitted with ROTE closures has been proven by their existing availability in small size bottles. For example, 187 ml PET bottles fitted with (smaller) ROTE closures are used in airline catering, for the reasons discussed above.
However the use of PET bottles in larger sizes, in particular the 750 ml volume size very commonly used for wine, has been limited and not successful to this point in time due to mechanical issues achieving the required sealing performance for standard ROTE closures.
More specifically, it has been traditionally understood that the proper placement of a ROTE closure onto glass packaging requires the application of a vertical load in capping of between 150 kg and 200 kg, with a vertical load specification of 170-180 kg being commonly quoted, to properly re-form the closure around the glass finish.
