If you do not plan on saving any of your milk, simply pump it into a bottle and store on counter or in refrigerator (I will go more into milk storage in a later post). However, if you plan on building up a supply, you are going to need a more efficient way of storing it.
Lactation consultants suggest freezing the milk in 1 oz ice cube trays so you can take out the exact amount you need for a feeding. I found this method too time consuming and if you are storing large amounts of milk, this will not work for you (unless you buy a ton of ice cube trays). Then I tried regular freezer Ziplock bags. This also did not work as well as I hoped since they did not stack well and took up a lot of space. Finally, I bought specialized milk storage bags. In my opinion the Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags are the best value and they work great. In all my defrosting I have yet to have a leaky bag.
Here are some of the specks on this product:
- Re-sterilized medical grade milk storage bags
- Patented double zipper seal prevents leakage
- Convenient write-on tab outside fill area eliminates potential puncture
- Tamper evident safety seal
- Tissue Pack Dispenser for easy access and storage
- 100% Bisphenol-A (BPA) Free
