Then I put them standing up side by side in a reusable grocery bag in the chest freezer so I just pull out the oldest bag on the far right side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/organizing-frozen-breast-milk#post-1145082 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 09:47:34 +0000 heartonastring 1145082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also use the gift bag technique! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/organizing-frozen-breast-milk#post-1145069 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 09:44:43 +0000 Revel 1145069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use gift bags and it works great for me. I read about this trick on HB, and used this tutorial:</p> <p><a href="http://greenlitebites.com/2011/06/02/breast-milk-storage/" rel="nofollow">http://greenlitebites.com/2011/06/02/breast-milk-storage/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/organizing-frozen-breast-milk#post-1145017 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 09:32:58 +0000 Dr. Pepper 1145017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put them in Sterilite "shoe box" storage containers like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-16428012-Storage-See-Through-12-Pack/dp/B002BDTETW" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-16428012-Storage-See-Through-12-Pack/dp/B002BDTETW</a></p> <p>but I get them at Target. A 6 pack for $5-8 depending on if they are on sale. The frozen bags fit perfectly laying on their side. Then I can stack these containers on top of each other. I put painters tape on the outside and write the date ranges on it so I know which box to open up first. I also write the # of bags I have in each box so I know how much milk is in there. I usually get 23-26 bags in each box depending on how flat they are. </p> <p>I open the oldest box first and put all those bags in a sterilite ice cube bin (also from target) (like @grizz: mentioned) so that I can quickly grab the next bag without having to open a box up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/organizing-frozen-breast-milk#post-1144565 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 03:25:56 +0000 Boheme 1144565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sterilite ice cube trays from Target are the perfect size. I store my bags that are frozen flat straight up and down in them and it helps me rotate my stash easily. $3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/organizing-frozen-breast-milk#post-1144502 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 01:10:59 +0000 autumnlove 1144502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put them in gallon sized freezer bags...prob 8-9 milk bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/organizing-frozen-breast-milk#post-1144494 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 00:54:20 +0000 starberry 1144494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Suggestions for organizing frozen breast milk?
