Breast milk freezer bag question

What do you use to freeze your breatmilk in? I remember a long time ago people saying regular Glad bags worked great and didn't leak...thoughts? I'm wondering if there's a cheaper alterantive to buying the expensive ones.

I've never thought to use regular Glad freezer bags. I really love the Lansinoh ones. Medela's tend to split.

What I used to do was put the milk in Gerber bags and then put a couple in a heavy duty freezzer bag.

I used the Medela and Lansinoh...and liked the Lansinoh far better.
I did find that both leaked sometimes when thawing, so I would thaw them inside a glad sandwich bag just to keep the mess down.

I personally prefer the Medela bags. I find them easier to store in the freezer.

I think medela has changed since I pumped, but I found gerber or lansinoh the easiest. I ordered them in bulk

I loved the Gerber ones the most. I had no problems with The First Years ones either. The Lansinoh ones gave me issues when I would tear them open for some reason Chat Icon
