Breast Milk Bags - Recommendations please!

I'm currently EBFing my 7 week old DS, but would like to start expressing and building a stock up for future use when he is being looked after by my DH and other family members. I have a Phillips Avent manual breast pump, which I've used once (just to see how it worked!) and it seemed to work well. Can anyone recommend good storage bags for the expressed milk or the best way to store it in the freezer if not in bags?

Thank you!

I found Medela bags to be great. I've never spilt any and they store well in the freezer. They also have tabs on the top so you can pump directly into the bag (I have the Medela swing so it works with that but not sure about other pumps).

I've only ever used the Lansinoh bags with both my DSs. I think I hit leaky ones twice, but they were both in the same box, so I think it was just a duff batch. Otherwise, no complaints and I think I was able to get them with my online Tesco shop, so easily come by.
