Does anyone use these for freezing milk? They say six ounces but I put at least 8 in there so she gets two bottles out of one bag. Anyone else do this? I send them to her daycare. Do they take a lot longer to thaw or something? Seems like a waste not to fill them up more. I leave a one inch space at the top.

i use those and lansinoh bags, which I prefer. every now and then i'll put in 7 oz, but normally stick with the 6oz. it is supposed to be 6 so there is room for expansion, but if you don't have problems with 8, i guess it isn't a big deal. in response to your other question, i send frozen to daycare, but i have quite a bit saved up. better to send fresh if you can because i guess the milke loses some nutrients when frozen. woth #1, i never used bags, just froze a bottle or two occasionally, but mostly used fresh. however, i also switched to formula while at day care after a few months. this baby, i am exclusively feeding b___stmilk instead of giving any formula.

I never got the bags because they seemed so expensive to me. I just bought the Avent storage bottles. I've never pumped enough to freeze but I read you can freeze the milk right in the bottles.

Those Gerber Seal and Go bags are THE BEST because you can freeze them flat and stack them like pancakes in the freezer. When frozen flat, they thaw out almost instantly in a bowl of warm water. I love them!

I use the gerber bags, too, but I don't use the measurements on them - I pump into an Avent bottle, and use the bottle to measure the amount, then I write the amount on the bag and freeze it that way.

That's what I've been doing too. Premeasure and then write it on the bag. 8 oz won't burst one and the other night I put 9 oz in and it was just fine.
