do 2ozs or ice cubes so easier/quicker to dethaw and less waste.

yes, small quantities, as in the early weaning days you can use it in cereal before you switch to cows milk.

Deffo small quantities, but think about whether you need to freeze it all. See here for info on milk storage. I didn't realise it could keep in the fridge for longer than 24 hours and so ended up freezing loads... and leading to me worrying about having a power cut! I think I have also read that it is better not to freeze as some of the properties of breastmilk are lost if it is frozen.
