Hi friends, How do I storr expressed breast milk in the freezer - if I need to use it after a couple of months? I am trying to store it so that it can be used when I join work. In the US, my cosister would use freezer bags. I dont know what is a suitable substitute here. Are they the same as small ziploc bags? I have small ziploc bags approx 12cm x 6 cm. Can I use those? How to sterilize these bags? Fiona
Fiona, don't use ziploc bags. They are not the same. Visit a baby shop and ask for BM storage bags. You can even order these online if you live in a city. Take care!
No, please dont use ziplock bags. If online ordering or visiting a baby store isnt possible, you can try storing BM in several small glass jars after sterilizing them. Thaw one 24 hours before use.
