Do I HAVE to get all the air out of breastmilk bags?

Emily

Okay so I have over 200 ounces of breastmilk currently frozen in the Parents Choice storage bags. I just found out that apparently you’re supposed to get all of the air out of the bag before closing it. WTF... I have not been doing that this whole time... Does this mean I need to throw it all out? What’s the reason for having to get all the air out???!
