How do you guys store huge amounts of frozen breastmilk?

Question

I have hundreds of oz of breastmilk in the freezer and it is starting to fill up my entire freezer and leaving room for nothing else... my plan is to store so much that I can stop pumping all together and use what I have frozen till my daughter is a year old. I pump so much a day (about 38-40oz a day) and she eats about 24-26oz a day so I have SO much left over to freeze. I always have so much milk. It’s a bittersweet problem I guess haha. 😂 
What do y’all do?

Answer

Also maybe consider donating some to someone who needs it. I usually kept about 600 oz in my freezer which ended up still being too much. I'd then donate to human milk for human babies, and then ended up donating about 50 oz every few weeks to a friend who had an undersupply.

I froze the bags flat in my regular freezer on a sheet pan then when I had 10 bags I put them in a gallon bag with the date and move it to my big freezer. I stopped pumping at 7 months with 4,000 oz in the freezer, it took up almost our entire extra freezer. My grandmother passed away and we took her extra freezer to keep our other stuff in, I don’t know what I would have done without that.

Answer

I bought a deep freezer. Like the comment before I froze flat in the regular freezer then sorting in gallon bags. Make sure you date the gallon bags and mark how many oz are in each gallon bag. This will be helpful when you are trying to determine if you have enough to stop. It’s also a good idea to make sure the baby will drink your frozen milk.

... and maybe don’t put all your eggs in one basket. I had a freezer break on me. The milk thawed and I had to throw it out. I think only a pumping mom would understand how depressing that was. 
Fortunately I was still nursing and it wasn’t as much as you have, but it was my stash that gave me the freedom to go out for a night or to not worry about getting sick, or having to stay at work a bit longer, or whatever.
