How do you keep breast milk frozen on vacation?

Make sure you use pouches or reusable containers that are suitable for the freezer and leak-proof, like the Stasher Go Bag or Stasher 1-Cup Bowl. Pack the frozen breast milk pouches into an insulated cooler bag, and fill any air pockets with homemade ice packs prepared ahead of time by freezing water in Stasher bags.
