Babies: 3 - 6 Months
Question about making LOs food?
I was wondering... it'll be at least another month before starting Hadley on baby food, and I'm hoping to make a great deal of what she has. My question is this, I have seen trays online that you can put them in to freeze (look like ice trays). Wonder how long it would be good to keep in the freezer? Should last a good while if I used my food saver system to get the air out?
I would love to start making baby food now (when we are having things for supper that would be good for her to eat) so that when the time came I would have a stash. Think that's okay?

Re: Question about making LOs food?
Right now, I just make mine fresh evry few days. It really doesn't take that long (peel,chop,throw in steamer,puree). Honestly, 45 mins at most, start to finish for 2-3 days of food. And you get to sit for 20 of it while it steams.
So, sorry that wasnt much help on your freezer question, but just wanted to add my 2 cents.

I totally understand that sort of need to freeze and stash the food but I found it pretty unnecessary after doing that with my older one. I ended up throwing a lot out. I would make fresh for the first time you introduce it and if you have an abundance leftover, go ahead and freeze it but don't make just to freeze, IMO. Then when they get more experienced and don't need such a thinned out puree you can just incorporate your dinners.
