I keep my milk in the freezer until it needs to be thawed so I know it doesn’t go to waste, but I’m a sahm and don’t leave the house without my son a lot so your situation may be different. As far as I know you can store it in milk bags in the fridge, it should be the same principle!

I have 40-50oz of breastmilk in bags in my fridge at all times. The rest goes in the freezer in bags

I only store it in the freezer, because I rarely use it often enough to keep in the fridge. I pump regularly but rarely give a bottle of bm if we are at home.

I definitely used storage bags more often

That’s the best way to store it and the bags take up less space than the bottles plus the bottles aren’t meant to freeze while the bags are.

You can boil Mason jars and use those
