I know I’m not the first person to freeze baby food. And I’m definitely not
the first person to use the following system, but I’ll share it again simply
because it works: Blend it, portion it, and stick it in the freezer.
There are many brands of baby-food storage systems out on the
market. I happened upon the Beaba Multiportions silicone freezer
trays at a local baby store, and I really dig ’em. They remind me of
honeycombs, which further reminds me of: 1) how much l love to
eat honey, and 2) how I marvel at the perfect geometrical mastery
of nature’s tiny architects and engineers — the amazing honey bee!
But I digress…
The silicone material it’s made from makes this freezer tray flexible so
that the frozen baby food portions pop out easily.
Each pod holds 1/4 cup (2 oz) of food. There are 7 pods in the container
so you get about two cups, which is enough for one day for our
big boy at month 7.
I have two trays, which I empty into zip-close freezer bags sorted by food
type (proteins, fruit and fruit blends, veggies and fruit/veggie blends).
Creating a stock enables me to combine a variety of foods so that Niko’s
meals throughout the day are well-balanced.
