No, they aren't sealable though the link that YoureTooLoud posted looks interesting!
Almost all of my dcm's have used the Medela pumps and simply poured the expressed milk into the drop in liners, tied them with a twist tie and stood them up in the freezer door overnight, then deliver them to me. I defrost them in warm water and put the liner in the bottle and feed the baby. Easy, peasy. I never touch the milk ~ not that it bothers me ~ but some people might have an aversion to it.
The dcbaby I have right now...her mom refuses to do this. She insists on Dr. Brown bottles (which I hate) and I have to transfer the milk from the Medela pump bottles to the Dr. Brown's and wash everything. I've asked repeatedly to just bring frozen and suggest this method, but nope. When she does bring frozen it's 4oz per bag in the large size Foodsaver bags (?) Talk about waste!
She's just one of those parents that knows everything, kwim?
