It is perfectly safe to store breastmilk with other foods if you have sealed your breastmilk in storage bag. However, if you can afford, I think it's good to have a separate chiller/freezer to store breastmilk. The disadvantage of storing breastmilk together with other foods is that we will open the freezer more frequently to get foods for cooking, hence exposing the breastmilk to room temperature more frequently which may lead to shorter storage lifespan.
