Just a little addition...

So, I'm definitely not as creative or determined as Carissa and Kristen, but I give it my best. Yesterday I made my second batch of baby food for Brayden. I am still at the premixing stage so they are not that creative. I just went to the store, bought what was on sale, steamed it, blended it and froze it.

Something that I found useful is to freeze the purees in ice cube containers and then, when frozen, place them in a labeled bag. They are then in single servings and ready to defrost and eat. I also like that I have different size ice cub trays so I can have different options depending on how hungry Brayden is.

Another idea that I just had yesterday is to reuse the Gerber food containers for travel food containers. I bought some mini containers from the dollar store but they are beginning to be too small and it is hard to fit the frozen food in them. So the Gerber containers are bigger and then you can also judge how much they are getting, since it seems that the world bases their baby food consumption on one Gerber container. It also is a budget friendly idea! :)

Here is all of my hard work....guess we are going to have a orange kid in a few weeks!

Carrots, Cauliflower, Peaches, Butternut Squash, Sweet Potatoes

I STILL have yet to find whole milk yogurt. Anyone got any suggestions?
