Cooling  hot food in the fridge before putting it in the freezer is to 
protect the  other food in the freezer from a rise in temperature caused by 
putting hot  food directly into the freezer.  I can see no problem with putting 
EBM  directly into the freezer.  It will simply cool faster.  The  
injunction to cool EBM before freezing applies when adding fresh EBM to a  container 
of frozen EBM.  Best to cool the fresh EBM first so it doesn't  partially 
defrost the already frozen milk.
I hope that's  clearer

Nina,
MUCH clearer thanks. Yes we knew about the chilling before adding to other  
cool/frozen milk, but not the rationale for EBM being chilled pre-freezing. 
 Makes sense there is no need. Body temp milk would be much "chiller" than 
hot,  recently cooked food for sure.
 
Thanks! 
Peace,
Judy
