Storing Homemade Organic Baby Food

1. Step 1

   Place the organic baby food puree into clean, sanitized ice cube trays. Each cube measures about one ounce so it's easy to determine how much to feed your baby.

2. Step 2

   Freeze the baby food.

3. Step 3

   Pop the food out of the tray, place in a storage container, and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator for one day. Serve chilled or warmed up by placing the container in warm water.
