How long is baby food good for?

Popping in from 0-3 month and hoping you can help me out.

I want to make my own baby food and would like to make some while I am on maternity leave. LO is 9 weeks old and I will be home from another month. I want to make some baby food using the good fall foods such as pumpkins, squash. How long would it be good if I freeze it after I make it? Would it still be good when LO is ready to start eating solids?

Thanks Ladies!!

I'm not 100% sure but I would check on https://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/.

I wouldn't trust food that spent 5+ months in the freezer. Prep by reading and gathering recipes. The actual prep and blending doesn't take that much time, actually.

 

How is it you're thinking about this 9 weeks PP!?! Good job!

It can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Are you going to start baby food at 4,5 or 6 mos? If 4 you maybe able to make some now, don't go to overboard though! You don't wanna make too much and throw it away!

It will be good for 3-6 months, but it's better to use it within 1 month if possible.
