I used Lansinoh storage bags from Target or Babies R Us - usually a few cents cheaper at Target.

I also used the Medela bottle kit purchased at Babies R Us for storage and feeding - called the "Breast Milk Storage and Feeding Set", and the "Breastmilk Freezer Pack". Target probably has both of these as well. You can use these storage bottles as feeding bottles - the first set listed comes with nipples and rings.

Once my guys ate more than these bottles held, I moved up to feeding them out of Mam bottles by Sassy.

If you're going to freeze your bm, it's easier to use the bags as I found that they took up less room in the freezer than using the storage bottles.

Check them all out online at Amazon:

You can also check Medela's website, and call their customer service with any questions - they're really helpful!!

Also, everything I listed above is BPA-free.

Good luck! :)

A quick tip it took me forever to figure out is that if you lay the bag of milk on its side to freeze it then you can stack it (vertically or horizontally) more easily in a box, bag or tupperware in your freezer.

I used the Lanisoh and First Years bags, what ever ones were BPA free and had zip tops. I picked them up at BRU, Target or Walmart depending on where I was shopping that day.
