    I took a gift bag and cut a hole in the bottom of one of the small sides. That way I can stack the bags but still have easy access to the oldest stuff.

    I'm using bm bags and just bought a plastic little bin from the dollar store to put the bags in, so they aren't all over the place

    I wish I would have thought about freezing the milk flat as well.

    Luckily we just purchased a stand alone freezer. DH is an avid hunter so we have a lot of deer meat to store.

    I have mine in bm bags then in small rectangular boxes sorted from oldest to newest.

    I'm thinking about donating but since being back to work my over supply hasddecreased and I'm making just a little extra each day. We will see.

    Just curious. How are they frozen if not laying flat? I guess I never thought of doing it any other way

    The Lansinoh bags that I have can stand upright once milk is in them because of how the seams are. I was afraid to lay mine flat because of all the reviews on here that they leaked. But we are almost out of space in the freezer so I might start doing it anyway.

    I also use the gift bag method.

    I have the Lansinoh bags and I have only had a couple leak over the entire year of bfing DD1 and none so far with DD2. 

    To freeze them flat, I just lay them flat in the gift bag (or you could do it on a shelf in the freezer)

    Going to do this today. My (flat) bags are all over the place in the freezer portion of my husband's beer fridge in the basement, right next to his freezer packs of hops. :-)
