    Great article! I LOVE using Excel to track my BM too... great idea about air sealing the bags...we got one for on wedding 3.5 yrs ago and I have yet to use it! Now I just need to get a deep freezer! 

    If my milk has been in the normal freezer a month or two, will it still last up to a year once I put it in the deep freezer or does it need to be done right away?

    I couldn't agree more on your method!  DS goes down around 9pm and sleeps until 6-6:30am.  I wake up at 4:30am to pump and I get 8.5-10oz each time.  I just started back at work and get about 2oz extra a day. I'm up to about 300oz in the deep freezer :)  Instead of putting them in a sealed bag, I just take a large freezer bag, label the dates the bags run from and the total oz in that large bag.

    I would think so - A year from the date you initially froze it.
    They do make 1/2 deep freezes - they're cheaper and easier to move. :)

    I also think when you pump a little extra like that - the weight comes off quicker. (Bonus!!)
