milk storage & organization

You'll come to find there's a whole science to milk storage (FIFO, fridge vs. freezer, bags vs. bottles, etc.). These things maintain order and sanity.

freezer storage

A freezer organizer helps you freeze milk in a compact, efficient shape and it also makes it easier to sort by date. I liked the First Years organizer that has a spring-loaded compartment to freeze the milk flat to optimize freezer space. It also works with any of the storage bag brands -- I used the Lansinoh bags in mine.

I loved the Lansinoh Bags  and they fit perfectly in my First Years freezer organizer. Note that the Medela bags are the worst and are prone to exploding -- I wouldn't recommend those. Many people swear by the Target bags but I never tried them.

MILKies milk savers

You will quickly learn that breast milk is liquid gold and every last, little drop counts. These Milkies Milk Savers collect the extra milk from the side that the baby isn't nursing -- milk that would otherwise leak and be wasted. This is particularly useful and relevant in the early days when you are building up your milk supply (related: breast milk bank = mom freedom).
