breastfeeding

Any suggestion on the best products for storing pumped milk?

I really liked the lansinol zipper bags.  You can write on them with a marker to label and they will store up to 6-8 oz of milk.  I laid them flat in my freezer until they were solid, then I stood them up organized by date in a container so that we could just pull the next one in line.  I stopped breastfeeding in december and had enough stored milk to make it through march.  Good luck!

I used the zip bags too. I liked how I could write the time and date I pumped so we knew which one to use first. Modela had the little bottles which are nice but expensive and they don't defrost as fast as in the bags.

I definately recommend the medela freestyle pump as well.  A lil pricey, but worth every penny.  Completely handsfree and it will suck your toenails thru your nipples.  Lol  Plus its much faster than the others I tried.  And it is much cheaper than renting one if you plan to breastfeed more than just a couple months.
