I having been BF & pumping with no problems. But I am a working
Mama. I have been storing my milk in the bags you can buy. Money is
getting tight & I would like to find a good way to freeze my milk
in reusable containers. Any ideas?
you can freeze them in the plastic medela bottles. There are some that are made for that. Another idea is to freeze them in ice cube trays. They are 1 oz. portions that way. They make some with covers specifically for freezing bm or homemade baby food. I had put mine in ziploc bags and I did have a problem with freezer burn though, but I hear of many people that some how avoid that. Not sure their trick.

Pour the milk in ice cube trays & cover with seran wrap. Once they're frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag (double-bagging helps avoid some freezer burn). My ice cube trays actually come to about 3/4 of an ounce rather than 1 oz, but it's easy enough to do the math.
