Saves Room in the Freezer! Keeps Milk Date Organized!
We love this item because it very simply compresses milk bags so they freeze flat. This maximizes space in the freezer. The container is also excellent in that it keeps milk date-organized ~ My husband has no problem grabbing the front bag...the latest date while leaving the most recent in the back. :) Makes milk freezing and storage simple, quick and easy. We have found it holds 10 frozen bags with 5oz of milk per bag. The lid can be used to organize additional frozen bags (holds an additional 11-12 frozen 5oz bags) or it snaps on as a lid.

Ok if you buy it @ BabiesRUs
The item is OK as an organizer. I used it with Medela bags, it fits about 10 of those if the bags are nicely flattened), so it's good if you need only few stashed. However at BabiesRUs it costs $16.99, whereas at the time of a review Amazon offers it for $23.75 on sale(!). Considering additional shipping cost, the difference definitely is not worth the convenience of a front door delivery..
Also, if you are building a bigger stash, this organizer makes no sense, it takes too much room in the freezer, easier to use 1g freezer bags. Not as neat, but more practical.
Not suitable for Lansinoh bags.

Great way to keep track of milk
Due to extenuating circumstances, I exclusively pumped and fed my baby breast milk from a bottle. I used this storage system several times per day with the Lansinoh bags -- a combination that worked very well for me and my baby. This box allowed me to keep the milk in order by date and time so that I was always using the oldest first. (The Lansinoh bags fit well, and I recommend them too) It kept the milk confined to a small, organized space in the refrigerator and the springloaded backing kept everything standing up and easily visible. I was able to store up to 20+ bags of 5 oz each at any given time. I finally did begin freezing the milk, but chose to freeze it on a cookie sheet and then store it rather than freezing it standing up. It seemed to freeze faster this way.
I liked the fact that the storage system is discreet. It looks like a plastic storage box in the refrigerator; it doesn't scream "LOOK here's breast milk" and make others potentially uncomfortable.
I considered using the bottle rack storage system because it felt as if I was creating a lot of waste, but the reasons I stuck with bags were that this system was easy but more importantly, warming milk in hot tap water is much easier and faster in bags (where there is more surface area) than in bottles and when your baby is crying because he is hungry, quicker is better.

LOVE THIS SYSTEM!!!
This storage system worked out great for me. I just rotated the bags when I pumped so I always knew I could just grab the first bag and go. They fit perfectly on my fridge shelf and I felt comfortable knowing my bags of milk were stored and safe instead of just laying in the shelf. I love this system. It is simple and easy to use. Plus all milk storage bags fit in it.

Great Product.
This organizer worked really well for me. I was able to store more milk for when I returned to work. I would recommend this product to any nursing mother, who is going to return to work and still wants to feed their baby breast milk.

Doesn't fit Lansinoh bags
I thought I had found a great way to store frozen milk. However, I use Lansinoh bags (the best in my opinion) and they are slightly too wide for this storage unit. I would have had to store the bags (that I had previously frozen flat) at an angle in this organizer. I returned the organizer rather than do this as I was afraid of tearing the seams of my bags, and losing the milk upon thawing. I wish this product were a little bit wider! I'm still looking for a storage solution, I'll try the ice cube bins as suggested by another reviewer.

Just right
This little organizer is just right. Breast milk bags fit in it perfectly, so it's no bigger than it needs to be. The organizers can also be stacked if you want more than one. The best part, and what makes it different than just some random storage container, is the springy thing inside that squishes the bags so they freeze flat -- much quicker to thaw that way!

Please people save your money
I don't own this but I freeze my breastmilk in ice cube trays that look exactly like this and cost $1.49 at Target a piece. Please save your money and get an ice cube tray, it's the exact same thing!!

great product
Perfect product for freezing milk, keeps the milk neat and organized and is a great solution for my side-by-side fridge/freezer. Only downside is that you can only put two new bags in at once because there is only one plastic separator (otherwise the bags will stick together). Not a big deal though, I am happy enough with the product that I am buying another!

Great milk organizer
We had been putting my wife's frozen milk bags into chinese food containers....lol. Not the best since they're not an efficient use of freezer space. This is a great option. Kind of an obvious storage idea if you ask me.
