As a LLL leader years ago, I also recommended the ice cube trays for easy  
and inexpensive storage options. However, in NC, the milk has to arrive in the  
bottle for the day care to give. They cannot take an ice cube of milk out of a 
 bag of cubes, and prepare a bottle on site. So moms have to freeze in the  
bottles, or thaw the milk partially in the AM and make the bottles to take that 
 day. I did have some moms who used the ice cube trays, and would chip the 
milk  into pieces with an ice pick and put in the bottles in the AM but  that 
takes some time that most moms didn't have in the AM.  Moms need  to check with 
the child care provider to see what methods they recommend. It is  also 
helpful for lactation consultants to consult with their local child care  regulatory 
agencies to see how child care providers are instructed in their  states.
