since it seems like the medela freezer bags shouldn't ideally be reused I am looking for a bottle that can go in the freezer. medela makes bottles that are freezer compatible but they only hold 2.5 oz (vs. the 5 oz that the bags hold). does anyone have a recommendation for freezer compatible bottles that hold greater amounts?

Re: need freezer bottles recommendation
I used the playtex drop in liners. They made and adapter and storage kit for the freezer. It attached to my medela pump, once I was done pumping I unscrewed form the pump and screwed on a lid, flipped it upside down and put it in the freezer. When it came time to do bottles, I pulled it out, let it thaw and droped the liner in the bottle.

These aren't bottles, but they are what I use for storage breastmilk in the freezer:

I thaw the milk then pour into bottle. Or, they come with an adapter top that you can put a nipple on and use as a bottle, as well as pump right into it. However, sounds like you have a Medela pump. As far as pumping into these and using them as a bottle, it might only work with Avent stuff. But if you don't mind pumping and then pouring into these, I think they work well. They hold 6 oz.
