I believe the AAP suggests exclusive breastfeeding (no solids) for the first 6 months. The reasoning behind waiting, IIRC, is that it gives the baby's intestines time to fully mature and reduces the chances of food allergies. Another thing to keep in mind - if you end up feeding her other foods, you MAY find your supply decrease, you may notice her being constipated, and you might notice that her poop stinks MUCH more than it did on breastmilk alone. Of course, if you stick with breastmilk slushies, this isn't a concern. I know that isn't the question you asked, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
However, if you decide to give solids, I have no personal experience with giving frozen breastmilk, but it sounds like a better idea to me than other foods. I can't imagine a breastmilk slushie would do much harm, but she may not like it cold.
