Ours did so as stated before I used 1/2c sized rubbermaid containers. DD is going to a sitter who doesn't care so I'll most likely use the little 1/2c ball jars (we bought them for canning but never used them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-foods-essentials#post-619543 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:50:23 +0000 googly-eyes 619543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keeping an eye on this post since we should be getting the ok to start solids at the upcoming 6 month appointment!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babys-first-foods-essentials#post-619535 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:22:36 +0000 jetsettermomma 619535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this!
