BEST BABY FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS

How to store home made baby food?
I’m going out tomorrow to get “supplies” to make Noah’s food, but have a few questions.
For those that have done this, do you find ice cube trays work best? Or is there another sort of storage container that would be better? Also, Noah’s been on jar food(stage 1) for about 3 weeks, can I make the consistency of the food a bit thicker now?
I was also wondering when your baby started self feeding. I’m nervous about this as we just started out but have also heard it’s of great benefit to baby. If you started around 6 and a half months how did you do it and what type of foods did you start with?
Thought I’d add that he’s having about half a jar when he does have them and it’s only at dinner time.
Yes, Ellie, that’s what got me interested in doing this and I got a few recipes off of it as well, it’s a pretty neat site!
Ice cube trays with lids were pretty easy to use. Once the puree was frozen I popped it out and put it in plastic baggies, labeled it and stuck it back in the freezer. One cube is about 1/2 a jar (I think…Ben never had jars).
We went back and forth from self feeding to purees. Ben’s first foods were apples, pears, bananas, mushed peas and avocado. They are all still some of of his favorites.
Go ahead and try bigger chunks…I think you’ll be surprised at how well he will do. Ben never did good with anything overly mushy. He likes the lumps and the self feeding. We were able to move off the purees pretty quickly.
