I have been pumping storing my milk for about a month now am able to pump roughly twice what LO is eating in a day. My issue is my freezer is getting pretty out of control with a combo of bags bottles shoved in everywhere so when I go looking for the oldest stuff first for daycare, it can take 10 min to locate.
Anyone have any DIY storage/organization ideas I can try? Using a big, upright freezer in the garage for "long term" storage
Re: Organizing my freezer
Can you freeze the bags flat and then stand them up in date order in a shoebox? This way the oldest are always in front.

Also, if you're storing in bottles, we have a can dispenser that I got off amazon that works pretty well with 4 oz bottles.
I do something similar to this, and it's been working great.
This is what I did. It works well.
