When the time comes to start the baby on baby food, some people prefer to make their own. If you decide to make your own baby food, storage may be a challenge, as you want to make it worth making more than a serving or two at a time. One way to store the food simply is to take the pureed fruit or vegetable and fill ice cube trays and freeze. Once it’s frozen, pop the cubes out and store them in a zip storage bag. Then, each cube is about a beginner serving. They thaw quickly for serving.

It’s good to start a baby on one new food at a time, to help recognize any possible food allergies. It’s also a good idea to start the baby on vegetable before starting them on fruit. This way they don’t develop a sweet tooth any sooner than necessary. Once they are eating the veggies well, start introducing the fruits, also one at a time.
