Breast Milk Storage Options
Here are some favorite storage options to save breast milk after pumping: Storage Bags
Our favorite storage bags are the Medela Pump & Save Storage Bags. These are the best storage bags on the market. These handy collection bags allow you to pump directly into them…no need for transfer. They also have a pouring spout and area to label the contents and the date. They are thicker and more reliable than other brands we have tried. Available from Amazon.com
Breast Milk TraysWe have two favorites in this category:
Slimlines breast milk trays also freeze in 1 oz amounts and can give mothers more room in their freezers. Not only because of the sleek design, but also because moms can pop the 20 or more “Milk Sticks” into one heavy freezer bag in the freezer. This is better than having 30 or more bags cluttering up the shelves and you can take out just the amount that you need! The little sticks are really handy because they easily fit into most brand bottle openings. Available from Supermomz. 
2. Fresh Baby Food Trays This is a fabulous idea that has been a long time coming. Use these handy trays to freeze breast milk in 1 oz. quantities. That way you can defrost only what you need- and never waste milk! They even have snap-on lids to prevent freezer burn and odors. Available from Amazon.
Bottle Storage
Our favorite bottle storage set is the Avent Breast Milk Storage Kit. They are simply the Avent four ounce bottles with nipple collars with seals. They work very well and are less likely to break or rip like a plastic bags can. Although it could get costly to use if you intend plan to store a lot of milk, most moms will be very happy with this method. They are really convenient because they can be used to pump into and feed out of with just a quick change of the top. Available from Amazon. Where Would You Like to Go Next?
