BM organization questions

on working moms, someone said she uses grease pencil to mark/date containers. Anyone else? Does it work well? Seems like a great idea.

What do you use to organize your Lansinoh bags of frozen milk in the freezer?

I store my milk in bags and write on them in Sharpie. I put them in boxes in the freezer.

I use storage bags and write on them with a pen. I don't organize them in the freezer, they are just all thrown on the top shelf. When I need a bag I dig in the back for the oldest one. Not very efficent but it works for me.

That's a great link!

I just write on my bags with a sharpie and then put them in larger freezer storage bags organized by month.  So all of February's frozen milk is in one larger bag, etc.

I use a narrow empty shoe box.  It lets me lay down the bag to freeze it solid and then stand it on end in chronological order.  I can then read the flaps to find the amounts I need since I don't store the same amount in each bag every time.  So I can pull a 4 and a 2oz bag to make a 6oz bottle, etc.
