I have the baby bullet so I use the little cups &amp; the freezing tray that came with it but I also use Kinderville storage jars (amazon has them but I got them when they went on Zulily for much less) &amp; Baby cubes (also from amazon). I have a lot of freezer space so I luck out in that I can use the cubes, but you can also use the silicone freezer trays &amp; then once they are frozen pop them out into a freezer bag &amp; use the tray to make more food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-61058 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:14:29 +0000 Andrea 61058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I had those tiny tupperware containers, too, and barely used them. It takes some patience to get food into individual containers but it is super easy to pour into an ice cube tray. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-61046 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:33:27 +0000 looch 61046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: now that is a good idea for the Beaba tray!

It freezes well, seals well and u can pop them out individually. I think it's bigger than one oz and I use it as a bento now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-61039 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:17:46 +0000 HabesBabe 61039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Such a good idea! I registered for a bunch of those tiny tupperware containers-- I doubt we'll get them, so the ice cube tray will be a good alternative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-58494 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:16:29 +0000 SAHM0811 58494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babycubes were all the rage when first LO was a baby so were are using those again with 2.0. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-58493 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:12:48 +0000 looch 58493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Beaba multiportioned tray, I used it once, waste of money, but don't tell my husband that!</p> <p>I generally don't make ahead and freeze, the 1 oz cube size didn't last long for my son and it's a pita for me to defrost (no microwave). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-58229 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:49:23 +0000 Boogs 58229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 1 oz sized ice cube trays that I freeze the food in.

I label the food and expiration date on the bags. I defrost what I need in the fridge as we go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-58057 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:21:48 +0000 heffalump 58057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you mean in the fridge just for a few days or in the freezer? My LO just started solids so I don't have my system down yet. My plan is to use plastic bags for the freezer, and for the fridge I have tiny tupperware that I'll use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-for-homemade-baby-food#post-57954 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:48:13 +0000 mediagirl 57954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you make your own baby food, what do you use to store it? Did you find old baby food jars or did you purchase something specifically made for homemade baby food? </p>
