Making Baby Food - Tips!

Baby Food

Just a few notes...
- Freeze your baby food in ice cube trays.  Each cube is about 1oz of food.
- Store  the cubes in tupperware or freezer bags.  Defrost in the fridge or in the microwave (be careful it doesn't get too hot). 
- Mix cubes for variety, and even add rice cereal for some extra calories and vitamins!
-Add spices and seasonings (just not salt) to make the food tastier for your little one.
- Yes, they sell fancy pureeing machines, specifically designed for baby food.  These are not necessary. A blender or food processer will work perfectly for all of these recipes!
- If after pureeing the food, it is very liquidy, don't worry.  Still freeze them and then when you defrost it, just add some rice cereal to thicken it up!
- As your child becomes older and more used to eating solids, puree for a shorter time so that the food has some small chunks.
- If you want to keep some of the pureed food in the fridge instead of freezing it, then you can store it in there for about 3 days.
