Baby Food Storing

I love making my own baby food but don't always have the time. My friend suggested this great idea. So when I have a spare half hour I make a batch up and I'm always prepared

Ingredient

1 each

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Cook food until tender. Mash with a fork or blender. For extra smoothness pass through a sieve pressing with the back of a spoon. Leave to go cold

* Step 2

Spoon about half a tablespoon of puree into each of the sections of the ice cube tray. Freeze for at least 3 hours

* Step 3

Label the date and contents onto the freezer bags before adding the cubes of frozen puree. Knot and place back into the freezer

* Step 4

Keep the food simple. Don't add any seasoning. Use boiled water or baby milk (breast or formula) if the puree is too thick

* Step 5

Put one type of food into each bag so when deciding on what to feed baby you can mix and match something different each meal time

* Step 6

Good foods to start baby off on are sweet potato, parsnip, carrot, squash, apple, pear. As they get older give them more cubes or fill ice cube tray more. Use a wider range of ingredients and increase the amount of lumps
