They are small, smaller than a glass food jar.</p> <p>Another option is to put a listed in craigslist that you're looking for glass baby food jars. I did that and within 10 minutes got a reply from someone saying they'd save them for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243587 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:39:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 243587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: The seal well. Just like a tupperware lid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243586 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:38:58 +0000 Mrsbells 243586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: @TurtleDoves: how many ounces of food can you fit into the baby bullet jars? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243577 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:32:28 +0000 regberadaisy 243577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Do those lids have a good seal? And are there enough lids for all the containers?</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: how's the seal? Doesn't look like it screws on so I would be afraid of spillage during transport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243568 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:30:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 243568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought these and they worked for a while. We did have a bit of trouble when we got to 3 ounces and 3 of the 1 ounce ice cubes wouldn't fit in these with the lid closed. Also had a bit of staining on the lids from frequent use. </p> <p><a href="http://amzn.com/B001K40IOS" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.com/B001K40IOS</a> </p> [attach=1506/12/m83a3e.472x600.81oGH8rbkKL._SL1500_-1-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243539 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:21:06 +0000 regberadaisy 243539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I'm very much leaning towards getting 4oz jelly jars as well. Because I can always reuse them for canning in the future.<br /> What do you plan to do about lids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243538 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:21:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 243538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: That's what we have!!<br /> We have the baby bullet serving jars- they are so handy! they also have a dial on the top so you can indicate which day of the month you made the puree.</p> <p>This looks good too: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Designed-Flexpods-Stackable/dp/B0052OTQZ4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1343845209&#038;sr=8-6&#038;keywords=dr+brown+plastic" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Designed-Flexpods-Stackable/dp/B0052OTQZ4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1343845209&#038;sr=8-6&#038;keywords=dr+brown+plastic</a></p> <p>We also have these: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Designed-Nourish-Snack-A-Pillar/dp/B0052TT6GI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1343845235&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=dr+brown+designed+to+nourish" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Designed-Nourish-Snack-A-Pillar/dp/B0052TT6GI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1343845235&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=dr+brown+designed+to+nourish</a><br /> And they are great! they can stack together or come apart, each have lids. They are the perfect size for purees. </p> [attach=1597/12/m83a56.300x300.stackapillar.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243532 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:15:00 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 243532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a baby bullet accessory kit which came with 8 storing jars but I also went out and bought like 12? small mason jars. I plan on boiling them before using them for the first time (which for me won't be for awhile). </p> <p>Then I want to try out DH's label maker so I can write contents and date on the jars...you can peel the labels right off when the jar comes back from daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243381 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:10:32 +0000 Mrsbells 243381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I want to buy these baby bullet storage jars. </p> [attach=1326/12/m836dk.410x410.13969214.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-243374 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:08:08 +0000 purrpletulips 243374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daycare does not allow glass so I used little tupperware containers when DD first started and as we increased the amount used bigger tupperware containers. I would run them through the dishwasher to sterilize, like I did with her bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-242117 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 13:18:35 +0000 brownie 242117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I use them like regular "tupperware" I think we have the 8 oz ones. We usually just filled them half way and sent them that way. It is very convienent because they stack and can go in and out of the fridge and freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-241949 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:48:40 +0000 mrstilly 241949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought Earth's Best food in glass jars, which I brought to daycare. Gerber and Beechnut still use glass for their purees too. Small canning jars could work well, so could glass tupperware. You could even freeze the purees in ice cube trays and just drop a couple servings into jars, so you don't need as many. Then you can just wash and reuse daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-241942 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:46:18 +0000 regberadaisy 241942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: That's what I was thinking! Which size do you use? Do you can them or just use them as you would regular "tupperware" and throw them into the freezer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-241937 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:44:52 +0000 brownie 241937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Ball freezer jars for that. I freeze them and then take them like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-bring-homemade-purees-into-day-care#post-241873 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:07:08 +0000 regberadaisy 241873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on making our own purees for M when she's ready to start solids.</p> <p>My question is how do you bring your purees into daycare?</p> <p>My co-worker said she asked her daycare to save those Gerber plastic containers and she re-uses those. I'm not liking the idea of not being able to sanitize that. </p> <p>So I was thinking small jelly canning jars? Or small glass tupperware? Does Gerber still put their purees in glass jars?</p> <p>How do you bring yours in? </p>
