I want to give my babysitter two bottles for her to keep at her house. Then I will pump and make fresh bags for her and send them each day. How do you store bags of fresh milk in your fridge? They would fall over or be a mess in the fridge just alone. Any suggestions would be great!
I put mine directly into the bottle if I'm going to use it within a day or two.
This. If I was to store in a bag, I would lay them flat to store. I use lansinoh bags. They are way better than Medela. I had read reviews that said that initially and I thought, "really? A bag is a bag". But it's so true.

Exactly! I have used Lanisoh for the past two LOs, with DD1 I had over 400 Oz in the deep freeze when I weaned right before a year. I'm not sure how much I have now but it's at least 50 oz, not much but it builds week by week.

Can you explain why Lansing are better? I use both, and haven't noticed a difference at all.

I place in lansinoh bags and then stand the bag up in a slim Tupperware container so they don't fall and aren't laying flat - spill risk. Then I just use front to back from the container. When freezing, I place in dated gallon ziplock bags. And rotate the ziplock with the oldest milk to the front of the freezer. You can fit about 7 frozen lansinoh bags in 1 gallon ziplock. I circulate in some thawed milk and fresh milk for LO at daycare each day.
