You can store breastmilk in glass jars, but with some caution. Glass is BPA-free and easy to clean, which is good. However, regular kitchen jars aren't designed for this—you're better off using special glass baby milk storage bottles sold in pharmacies or baby stores; they have airtight lids that don't leak and can withstand temperature changes without cracking.
Regular jar lids might not seal tightly and there's a risk of breakage with heat changes. Glass storage bottles are a safer choice. Storage times (4 days in fridge, 6 months in freezer) stay the same.
