How to pump breast milk and store them?

Hi everyone, I'm a first time mom and unsure of how to correctly store the breast milk. Do you put in milk storage bags individually everytime you finish pumping or accumulate it in a bottle for a day and store them? Should I store in the fridge or freezer? Is the breast milk solid once taken out of freezer? and if so, how do I warm it using a bottle warmer? How do I wash my breast pump? Should I wash after every use and then sterilise it? Thank you for your advice. 🌻

To add on to the other mommas' answers - store your bm deep in the fridge/freezer, not near the door - dont forget the date you pumped. Jot it down in marker on the plastic - since we still forget easily, best to faster transfer into storage bags into the freezer rather than keep in the bottle in the fridge. I've wasted a lot of milk cos I've forgotten about them and they went stale after a few days 😭
