Lanolin milk storage bags: mamas just got the bags, trying to build up some supply before baby starts day care. Does anyone fill over the 6oz mark and freeze? Or should I only fill under the line?

Yea & i would mark the bags with a marker - put a line where the milk filled to when the bag was standing upright, unfrozen. That way when frozen and smushed with various amounts i knew how much was actually in there

Sometimes it wasnt an exact 4/6 oz amount i pumped (wanted to know it was slightly less than 4oz).
Or maybe he ate more than normal and i pumped after and got a tiny amount, that i added to another bag.
sometimes i was compiling from a couple bags of random amounts either from leftovers or some other scenario
If you know exactly the oz, definitely helpful to put that instead!

Under the line unless you want it to leak and you’ll cry. Speaking from experience

Fill under the line. Liquids expand when you freeze them.

Do not overfill! If you are looking to store larger quantities I recommend the mother k milk bags.

I filled under the line. Be sure to store lots of different amounts...some 2 and 4 oz in case you have to make odd sizes.

Thanks all... I moved to the things you guys mentioned to store 3,4, etc quantity. I defrosted today and tried a 6oz which was fine.. I only have 1 more 6 oz frozen so will use that too so I don’t risk the leak issue .
