Prepping for Making Baby Food

My second baby is about a month away from starting solid foods. 

So its time for this Mommy to get organized!

This time I’ll use my Fresh Baby trays to freeze breast milk into cubes so I won’t have to thaw (and waste) so much milk to mix cereal.  Then it’ll be off to the races with whatever fresh produce I find at the farmers market!

With the first I used the Fresh Baby So Easy Baby Food Kit to make and freeze those first momentous meals.   Making baby food was much easier than I thought and I had this HUGE sense of pride in starting my baby off with fresh produce grown at local farms in Northern Michigan. 

I would make the food and freeze it in the covered trays then once frozen I’d transfer the cubes into a freezer bag labeled with the food item and date.  If I needed to take food with us on the run I’d have to put the cubes into a little plastic container.  This worked well, but this time I’ve found a product that’ll let me skip the transfer step and is ready ‘to-go’. 

Baby Cubes are basically the same idea except they are individual cubes with their own attached lids.  I’ll still make the food and put it in cubes to freeze but now I will not have to transfer the cubes to a freezer bag.  I’m also ready to grab and go to daycare or out & about.  The only snafu will be how to label the food item and date for each cube.  Baby Cubes come with a tray so it could be as easy as labeling the tray.  I think its a small price to pay for not having to transfer and handle the food multiple times!
