Hi Cindy,
Here are some questions that come to mind. You have probably thought of
them too :)

 - Is she using the NICU's freezer, or the one in her own home?
 - Is everything else in the freezer freezing?
 - Has she tried freezing cow's milk in that freezer?
 - Has ANY of her milk  EVER frozen? If so, were the circumstances
different in any way?
 - Was there more milk in each of this mother's bags than usual?
 - Were her bags squished together?
 - Were the bags placed at the back of the freezer or near the door?
 - Is there any chance she could have had alcohol in her milk? (Yes, I know
it dissipates, but if the milk was pumped and frozen immediately..?)
 - Does this mother have an unusually high proportion of fat in her milk?

I love/hate these mysteries!
