The table Frozen Pureed Baby Food table below is established from our own experience with freezing homemade baby food; we did a lot of it having to feed twins.

 

You may have better, or worse, luck with freezing your homemade baby food cubes.

 

Homemade Baby Food is most easily stored in your freezer.

 

It is best to keep the cubes as far into the freezer as possible.

 

Try not to store your homemade baby food cubes on the door to avoid the warming that may occur when the freezer door opens.
