I have been using these, they are like ice cube trays but each stick is 1 oz, so easy measuring. Whenever I have extra (or on Fridays when I freeze) I just pour in the sticks and make some milksicles! Then when they are frozen I pop them into a freezer bag (quart size is good), date, and stack in the freezer with the oldest on top. This way there's no fumbling around... which bottle is older... and the frozen stuff is premeasured so i can "top off" a bottle if I need to.
The only problem I've found is that the sticks don't fit very well in some bottles. For example, the Avent 4 oz bottles are too short, so I defrost however many I need in a 9oz bottle and re-distribute from there.

Wow that is really cool! I use ice trays to freeze baby food so this is a great concept for milk as well.

How do you defrost the milk btw?

I've gone throught hundreds of Lansinoh bags so far with no leaks (knock on wood!). They're my fave.

I hate the medela ones, but I like the Lansinoh , plus you can zip them, lay them down, and freeze flat. I've never had a problem with leaking.

I like Lansinoh bags. I hate the gerber bags because they feel weird. But now I want those icecube trays!!!

I use lansinoh with this organizer:

it freezes flat so they are easy to store and defrost!

I like these http://www.choosehoneysuckle.com/ They are biodegradable and they have a double layer on the bottom so they don't leak like the Lansinoh ones.
