I do 100ml increments, so pretty much 3oz too. She takes 5 oz bottles but that way I can mix it with 50ml (2oz) fresh milk.

I just pump directly in bags and freeze whatever's in there. If there's less than 2 ozs I'll consolidate, but otherwise they're between 2 and 5 ozs.

I always freeze in 2 oz increments. It gives me the most flexibility for how much I want to thaw.

4 or 5 oz. Mostly in 5 oz. By the time I was starting to use my freezer stash, DS' intake was 5 oz+

I did a range of 2-5oz to give myself more flexibility. I did more 2 and 3oz portions though.

4-5 oz. In the beginning it was 2-3 since that's all I was making!

We use milk trays which I highly highly recommend - froze in 1 oz increments and they can be put in any bottle and thawed.

When he was a newborn I froze in 2oz batches, but as he grew I started to freeze btwn 4-6oz, however much I could get.

Everything has been 3oz since I started freezing, just for consistency. I don't have to hunt for the right amount since they're all the same. He takes 7oz bottles now, so it isn't ideal, but I know his consumption will change over time.

I just pump 1x a day I usually pump 10 oz so 2 bags of 5. I have lots of 4.5 oz bags in there too. Previously I froze in 1 oz, 2 oz and 3 oz. so I can mix & match

@youboots: holy cow, 10 oz?! I only pump once too, and I'm happy to get 3 oz!

@shellio: I got those milk trays, too. I got them at a good price in a co-op. Glad you like them.

Now 5 oz because she will eat that soon. I used to do 3 then 4. I just freeze more than she eats now because I produce a little extra, and she eats milk from about a month ago.
