Solids in Ice Cube Trays

JoJo716 · October 2013

I have a couple of questions for the ladies who do this:

1- How do you thaw the cubes to get them ready for lo to eat?

2- Do you mix them with anything once they are thawed? I.e. breastmilk

Thanks and sorry for the formatting. Mobile bumping.

I put them into the smallest Tupperware container I have and let thaw at room temp.

I have only made one batch so far and thinned out the purée before I froze. Next time I may thin out after thawing.

When I steamed them and used a little left over water from the pot to get it to right thickness..and then froze in little cube containers I bought and then popped them out and froze in freezer bags. I sometimes add a little breast milk if it seems to thick..this was true for the sweet potatoes I made.

I'm curious about the thawing as well. I have a bunch frozen but haven't taken any out yet!

I just put a cube in a little Tupperware bowl each evening and it thaws in the refrigerator overnight and is ready the next day. I don't thin it further with BM.

@motang do you heat it in the microwave?

motang · October 2013

No. If I want it warm I run warm water on the Tupperware (like with warming BM). You could probably microwave for like 10 seconds and let it sit to be sure there aren't any hotspots.

I take some out, put it in a bowl and let it thaw in the fridge. If I need to rush things along, put the bowl in the microwave for 10 seconds (and let it cool, obviously). Sometimes I need to add formula to make it the consistency B likes, but not all the time.

I pop one into a tiny Tupperware then in the microwave for about 30 secs on power level 3 (out of 10). It's the defrost setting so it more melts the cube not cook it. Then I add BM after to make it the right consistency

I thaw in a container in the fridge and I heat by placing the bowl in hot water. I don't microwave.

I also nuke mine this way. The Gerber containers say you can heat them up in the microwave after being in the refrigerator so I figured it was okay. It says just to stir thoroughly before feeding for hot spots. So I do that and also check it. I only feed at room temp.
