Since milk storage bags have been  a topic, I thought I would ask a
question.

     I have always told moms that the "best" storage container would be the
soft bottles that are made of polypropylene.  That the harder polycarbonate
bottles could leach a harmful byproduct, so they were fine for feeding with
but not for freezing.  Then I say that if storage space is an issue, storage
bags could be used, but should be double lined.  And I add that you lose
some of the antibiotic properties when using the bags, but many find them
more convenient for them.  I know that I've read that you can lose up to 60%
of the antibodies by using the bags.  

     So my question is... is this still current information?
