  target carries medela glass bottles i think. i'm pretty sure they did last I looked. anyway, that's what i used, and you can freeze in them as well. buy buy baby also carries them if you have one where you are. some people have leaks when using them during feedings but I only had a few drips that seemed to be user error or like if the nipple was warped or something.

   unless you're looking for something else like bulk storage? in which case you could do an initial freeze in ice cube trays and then maybe transfer the cubes to pyrex containers.

  You could also probably use small canning jars. They have freezable kind. I imagine those would be a little less convenient but less expensive.

  We use evenflo glass bottles, which are compatible with a medela pump.  I freeze in silicone trays and store in ziploc bags (24/quart).

  We will be using 4-oz canning jars. The quilted kind are freezer-safe. Apparently, you do not want to use non-freezer-specific glass because it can get microscopic cracks. We thought about using LifeFactory bottles to freeze in, but they are just so pricey to actually make a BM stash with!

  The jars we will use: https://www.amazon.com/Jarden-7061000104-Decorative-Jelly-Jars/dp/B000MLF0AM/ref=br_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3PD7GQHHDDH4&colid=1ADK2STD5S6V6
