Having worked in a daycare briefly..I don't think it's something most teachers would really think about. (Maybe if you brought it up though.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2286093 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 19:48:55 +0000 youboots 2286093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got wean green and ball hard they arrived today. Perfect, thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2285953 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 16:33:58 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2285953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Wean Green containers and really like them, but I don't see any problems with reusing glass baby food containers either. I personally don't run any plastic through the dishwasher because it can break down, but unless the food is in direct contact, I doubt it is a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2284329 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 23:30:09 +0000 PurplePeony 2284329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Wean Green containers and I love them. They're still useful for small amounts of leftovers (happens more often than I ever realized!) or portioning out some of our food for DD, even though we're way past the purée stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2284301 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 22:05:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2284301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this. I mean it has to be better than heating a completely Platic jar container right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2284252 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 21:01:34 +0000 coopsmama 2284252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's perfectly fine as long as the food isn't touching the lids directly. I did that with both of my kids and it didn't seem problematic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2284245 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 20:53:15 +0000 MrsSRS 2284245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be comfy with that exposure. But wean green and green sprouts both make reusable glass baby food jars that I've heard good things about. Actually, there are a whole bunch if you search 'glass baby food jar' on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2284234 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 20:46:18 +0000 youboots 2284234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: @MenagerieMama: no idea they made them that small, thank you.

I use those for my own lunches! They keep me to a 3 oreo ration, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2284218 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 20:32:41 +0000 jape14 2284218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I have no idea about the safety (seems fine to me!) but I used small mason jars for the same purpose. I think they were the 4-oz size; found them at Target! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-safe-reusing-glass-baby-food-containers#post-2284182 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 20:01:46 +0000 youboots 2284182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been using empty baby food jars to thaw cubes of homemade baby food and to send to daycare. I just read something about the plastic lids of canned foods being unsafe. I'm washing the jars and lids on the top rack on the dishwasher and using them over and over. If it's not safe can you recommend a similar sized glass alternative. Arguably the food is not touching the plastic. Thanks! </p> [attach=5281/15/nu8diy.450x600.image.jpg]
