Freezing expressed milk

[Lu28]

What do you freeze your expressed milk in? I've been following a plan to increase my milk supply and it seems to have worked really well I now have a stock of milk in the fridge which I don't want to waste but I'm not sure if I need to buy special freezer bags or something?

i use breast milk storage bags you can get them from mothercare x

I use the advent breastmilk storage system:

Easy to use, quick and safe. I don't like bags, too much risk of leaking. Cups are easier to store upright in the freezer.

Well done on boosting your supply, fancy sharing your plan with us?

I got freezable bottles that fit on my pump. I just preferred them to the bags. I think its personal choice.

I now decant my milk from the little bottles I pump into into Lansinoh bags (£4.99 for 25 bags from Mothercare) which are individually sealed and sterile so are brilliant for if you are out and about and I then freeze it in the bags.

I used to freeze it in the sterile bottles I got in SCBU but the bags take up much less room in the freezer than the bottles (which caused me to have a huge panic a few days ago that my milk was drying up as the freezer started looking a lot emptier!)

i got laniosh freezer bags from Boots. They do their own version aswell. Just fill a bag, write the date on it then i stored them in a tub in the freezer.
