How long can homemade baby food be frozen for?

We are going to start purees in April when Aubrey is 6months.  However I know that right now things like butternut squash and such are good deals at the store.  So could I make it now, freeze it, and it be fine in April? 

Also this may be a dumb question but can you just use ice trays to freeze it in and then pop them out and put them in baggies?  I don't actually have to have those special trays like they sell at BRU do I?  Although I did notice they have lids, but still it seems that ice trays would work just as well?

  • I think they will last that long as long as they're wrapped well and in the back of the freezer.  I just use a regular ice cube tray to freeze.

  • I know you guys don't have a Whole Foods up there, but they sell frozen cubed butternut squash.  Maybe The Fresh Market does too and you could get some of that...
  • FYI, we are supposed to get a Whole Foods in front of Madison Square. It's going where Curcit City was. The GM came into our store the other day and left come stuff!  I'm so excited

  • YAY for whole foods!!

    check out www.wholesomebabyfood.com - it says 3-6 months but is better to do 1-3 months.

     

    I got some silicone mini muffin pans from bed bath and beyond.  each minimuffin was 1 oz but it was easier to pop them out after they were frozen. 

     I made all of Avery's food - if you have any questions, just let me know :)
