BM storage in freezer?

Krista123105

I've been using Lasinoh freezer bags and freezing my BM flat, but how do you organize your chest freezer? I freeze at least one 6-oz bag each day, so I probably have over 500 oz frozen so far and don't know how to store them in an organized fashion. TIA!

I also put 6oz per Lansinoh bag.  Then I put 8 Lansinoh bags into one 1-gallon ziploc bag (I wrote the date range on that bag).  I stored them upright in the chest freezer.  Once I got to 500oz, I dropped pumps b/c it was annoying to thaw BM, haha.  My DH hated it.  Too much to remember, he said (b/c of the 24 hour time limit).  I didn't do a great job of rotating it either b/c I preferred that my LO get fresh milk vs. old frozen milk.  I ended up donating the last 300oz just a few weeks ago, the oldest BM was from April and my LO wasn't interested in it anymore.  So my other advice is to drop pumps so you're not needing to freeze so much.

We bought bins at the container store. I got a bunch of different brands of bags at different time, so they're stored by bag type.
