I do not heat it with the top. I never froze food in them because I use silicone ice cube trays and put them in ziplock bags and take out what I need </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glassware-and-starting-solids#post-833342 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 14:11:42 +0000 immabeetoo 833342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I store and warm in small glass custard dishes (glass, cheap from the grocery store or amazon) and serve on a BPA free plastic dish that I handwash. My LO is 6 months and he can reach all over - if I put the glass cups on his tray they'd be flying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glassware-and-starting-solids#post-833320 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 14:05:02 +0000 Mrsbells 833320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsInformation: i used glass canning jars when we first started solids and I didntt heat it up in microwave I used her bottle warmer or would heat it up gently by placing it in a pan of warm water. </p> [attach=1326/13/mnxp0i.350x269.quiltedjars.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glassware-and-starting-solids#post-833283 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:52:55 +0000 autumnlove 833283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not use glass with a 6 month old. I would not use glass with my 17 month old either.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glassware-and-starting-solids#post-833267 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:50:28 +0000 rattles 833267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been doing solids for all of 3 days so take my input with a grain of salt, but I haven't bought any plastic. I've been using some little porcelain ramekins/souffle dishes we already owned. We're starting with purees and then hoping to add some BLW as she gets bigger, but for now, she's not holding the dishes anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glassware-and-starting-solids#post-833260 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:48:44 +0000 looch 833260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a microwave at home when my LO was eating purees, so I heated what I needed to on the stove, in a pan. I then served him in our regular dishes (inexpensive stoneware). I always made it a point to serve his food on a plate or in a bowl, not on the tray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glassware-and-starting-solids#post-833250 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:45:50 +0000 birdofafeather 833250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we haven't started solids yet, but we have some glass cubes too! i think we'll probably just heat from those (the oxo ones) but honestly, i have no clue yet! hopefully more experienced mamas can help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glassware-and-starting-solids#post-832766 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:02:00 +0000 MsInformation 832766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning on starting LO on solids in a few weeks, pending the green light from our pediatrician, and I've become a little paranoid about using plastic food storage containers (this is after not paying all that much attention to BPA etc. for years).</p> <p>I've been doing research on some starter gear for solids. We're planning on making purees at the beginning, and I found some little 2- and 4-oz. glass storage cubes that look promising. My question is - do I also need bowls, or is it more efficient to heat and serve the purees from the cubes? Is it moronic to use glass bowls with a 6-month-old? And what about glass sippy and straw cups?</p> <p>Now I'm off to heat up my lunch, which I have stored in a BPA-licious plastic container and will be nuking in my office's Soviet-era microwaves. Ack! (If you have recs for glass storage containers for adults, I'll take those too!) </p>
