Freezer Reccommendations

Does anyone have a compact freezer they use for breast milk stash that they can recommend? My freezer is running out of space and I want to buy myself a compact freezer for all of milk I am pumping!

Sorry no recommendations. I just wanted to pipe in to be careful with such a big stash. Milk will often go bad if you don't rotate it fast enough and it would be a shame to waste it. Not to mention if you have high lipase or LO has some issue with frozen milk.

We bought your standard large chest freezer when I was pregnant with DD1, and planning to breastfeed. It didn't work out, and while I did pump some, I didn't freeze a single drop. We did however use the heck out of that freezer when we'd find sales on meat, frozen lunch stuff, frozen snacks, etc. We baked a ton of zucchini bread one summer thanks to a generous gardening friend and froze tons of loaves of that

DD2 came, and I only ended up using it for one gallon ziploc bag full of 50 oz of milk, the max my supply ever got. I work full time and didn't build up a big stash before returning to work at 12 weeks.
