    OXO Tot Baby Food Freezer Tray

    Vanessa M.:  This was my go-to baby food storage tray for making baby food to stash in the freezer. It makes perfectly portioned baby food cubes that were just the right size for my babies. This tray is easy to clean (dishwasher safe!), and I love that the slide-on cover allows you to easily remove one or two cubes at a time. I used to write the date and contents on the lid with dry erase marker, which wipes off easily with a damp cloth.

    Infantino Squeeze Station

    Vanessa M.:  Those little baby food pouches are so convenient and easy to use when on the go, but the cost can add up. The Infantino Squeeze Station makes it easy and cost effective to make your own baby food pouches at home, using whatever blend of homemade purees you'd like for your baby. Simply insert the disposable pouches into the squeeze station, pour your puree into the tubes, and use the press to quickly fill the pouches without any mess. All parts are dishwasher safe.

    OXO Tot Baby Blocks Freezer Storage Containers

    Vanessa M.:  These space-saving baby food storage blocks from OXO are a must-have for storing baby food either in the fridge or freezer. Each set of 4 storage blocks comes with a handy tray that is easy to stack and store. The 4-ounce containers have airtight, leakproof lids that travel well in a diaper bag for feeding baby on the go. The containers are non-toxic, dishwasher safe, and microwave safe.

    BooginHead Squeez'Ems

    Vanessa M.:   Baby food pouches are so convenient for feeding baby on the go. However, the cost can add up and some store bought pouches may contain additives that can upset baby's tummy. Squeez'Ems are reusable baby food pouches that parents can fill with baby's favorite purees for easy feeding whenever out and about. Each pouch is dishwasher safe, BPA free, and environmentally and economically friendly. Screw-top lid is easy to fill, and cap is attached to eliminate lost parts.

    WeeSprout Silicone Baby Food Freezer Tray

    Vanessa M.:  A great time-saving tip is to make a large batch of baby food at once and freeze it to use as needed. This silicone freezer tray for baby food is a great way to freeze your purees in the perfect portion size for little tummies. The lid protects from freezer burn, and the food-grade silicone is free from toxins. It is also dishwasher, microwave, and even oven safe!
