What I mean is this: Lets say you pump 100ml in session A and 100ml in session B. If you mix together and freeze, means you have 1 bottle of 200ml. When you warm up, you are warming 200ml at a go and baby is unlikely to drink that amount. If baby drink lets say 90ml, the other 110ml is wasted. Instead, if you had kept the 2 sessions in 2 different bottles, you can warm just 1 bottle of 100ml. Baby drink 90ml, you waste 10ml only.
Defrost already cannot refreeze. Thaw in fridge = keep for 24hrs. Thaw in open/warm up = 1-2hrs.
Milk bags or bottles depends on how much are you storing and whether your fridge has space. I used milk bags coz I had oversupply and hence at any 1 point, I can have 20-30L of milk in my fridge frozen. I let my kids drink fresh (i.e. today pump = tmr drink). Frozen are for spares & used for milk bath. Milk bags take up less space lah.
How much to store in 1 bottle/bag depends on your child's feeds & of coz what you are using to store. If bottle and each bottle you only put lets say half bottle, takes up too much space also. If milk bag and your bag too ex, half bag also quite expensive. Good to store varying amts which you can combine to suit needs.
