Storing Breastmilk: Ice Tray Storage.
Excerpt from "The Exclusives Pumpers!" forum on BabyCenter.
The reason why I'm pumping is because I go back to work in December and I don't want my baby on formula while at work. My mom can easily grab a bottle out the fridge or a grab a storage bag and thaw it out.
8) Speaking of costs, how can I store my milk without using so many breast milk storage bags?I might try this as I try to rebuild my supply. If I pump at 7-8 times a day depending on how much I pump in a session I could fill up a tray or two a day, which will be 2 to 4 bottles a day. Until my supply picks back up.
There are two things most people do to cut down their use of the storage bags.
The 1st is to not use them at all. Some people freeze their milk in ice-cube trays and then transfer the frozen cubes to a freezer bag labeled with the date. Each cube is appox. 1oz so you just defrost as many as you need.
