I have always been uncomfortable with the idea of freezing breastmilk in 
regular ice cube trays and then storing the cubes in freezer bags, 
unless they are going to be used pretty quickly.  Freezer burn occurs 
when air is in contact with frozen food, and ice cubes in bags have many 
surfaces in contact with the air.  I don't really know for sure that 
freezer burn occurs on frozen liquids, but I know that if I've stored my 
frozen tomato sauce too long, the surface looks different--I've always 
assumed it's the same as freezer burn on solid foods.  Anyway, what 
about just regular glass jars - nothing special, just clean jars that 
other foods have come in?  For just about forever I've been telling moms 
that if they have small clean jars (like from jelly, salsa, etc.) with 
lids that are air tight, that these make great storage containers.  And 
like the old formula bottles, free.
