Ice Cube Trays - Your New Best Friend in Storing Homemade Baby Food

Be sure to buy trays with nicely sized cubes, usually about 8-10 cubes per tray. You can find them for a couple of bucks each. Depending on how much baby food you are making will depend on how many trays you will need. Once you spoon the baby food puree into the trays and freeze, you will then knock out the cubes and transfer them into labeled plastic bags and reuse the trays for your next batch.

How many ounces is one cube equal to?

Since ice cube trays come in different shapes and sizes, the only way to be sure approximately how many ounces a cube is equivalent to is to weigh it yourself with a food scale!

What about the kind of trays that are shaped like hearts, stars, etc.?

Does it really matter that your food cubes are shaped like little hearts or stars? Once the baby food thaws out, you won't be able to tell. So spending extra money on those cute trays are not necessary, unless you plan on using them for another purpose or you already have them.

Other Storage Containers

You can also use freezable glass jars or plastic containers with lids to store and freeze your homemade baby food. The containers with lids are very useful because you can serve your baby right from the container. They are also useful for on-the-go. Store your baby food in whatever works for you but be sure to purchase containers that are freezer safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe.

Storing and freezing homemade baby food in ice cube trays and then transferring them in plastic bags will not only save you money but will ensure that you have food for up to 2 months! You can mix and match food cubes or make as much or as little as you need.
