Leave some room for expansion. Also, be aware that the bottle may bulge, so that the bottom is no longer flat and may not stand up properly anymore. Don't use a bottle that you care about standing up by itself without falling over.

I'm sure you could get a few days, if not a whole weeks use out of one (freezing each night) - that is if they didn't eat it because frozen oranges are delicious!  My kids used to have them for after school treats when we lived in Australia Cool
