Things You'll Need:
- Jarred or homemade baby food
- Several clean plastic ice trays
- Plastic wrap or Glad Press ‘n Seal
- Masking tape and marker
- Empty space in a freezer
-
Step 1
Set out the jars of baby food or the homemade baby food, spoons, ice trays, plastic wrap or Press ‘n Seal, masking tape and markers. Eyeball the amount of baby food you have to freeze and estimate how many ice cube trays you will need. Keep in mind that small jars will give 2 servings and large jars will give 4.
-
Step 2
Open the baby food and use a spoon to scoop out half of food in the small jars. Place the food in one ice tray slot and proceed by putting the other scoops in each slot. Make sure to do half or full trays of the same food so labeling will be easier.
-
Step 3
Begin labeling the masking tape with the appropriate kind of food in the trays. Tear off an appropriately sized piece of the plastic wrap or Glad Press ‘n Seal and lay it flat on your clean counter. Apply the masking tape labels and press firmly so label will adhere to the plastic.
-
Step 4
Place the plastic on the appropriate trays and seal tightly. Move the trays to the freezer, placing them flat so the food does not spill out. Stack the trays 2 to 3 high and allow them to freeze.
-
Step 5
Once frozen, dislodge a food cube as needed and defrost in the microwave before feeding.
