how do you store your breast milk?

we have a small freezer.. just looking for ideas on the most efficient/space saving way to store EBM.

We have a small freezer too. I store it in the Lansinoh storage bags and freeze it flat so they're shaped like shingles. I put them in rectangular tupperware/Glad containers to protect them from cracks.

I've just resigned to the fact that storing BM means I have to use up the food that's in there more efficiently. No more 9-month-old meat!

mine are in the freezer part of my fridge-side opening w/ seperate doors. I also have the lansinoh bags and i just put them on the top shelf. I have heard that storing them flat like the pp does, makes it easier to thaw-I may have to start doing that since im running out of room in my freezer!!

I use the Lansinoh bags and put them in a "First Year's Milk Storage Container" I got from Target.com.  I love it!
