Hi,
i need some feedback. Do yuo store puree in the freezer cos some said ok to do that some said not ok.
Some said not ok is because bb should not eat overnight food. I need all mummies to feedback
Thank a million.

i do make vege purees and minced meat to store in the freezer.
since it will be cook, i personally feel it's alright.
vege i do boil them, use chopper to puree them then store in baby cubes immediately to the freezer.

but for fruits and such which to be consume without cooking, i never tried before. i thought mayb not so good.

now that my daughter is old enough, i do not puree vege anymore.
i cut washed uncooked broccolli into small pieces into baby cubes then inside the freezer. usually i prepare for few days share not over one week.

i read somewhere where frozen pureed are to be consume within one hour after taking out from the freezer. else will be contaminated.
if take out from the freezer to the usual fridge compartment will be within 24hours.

thanks for your reply but for apple i normally cook it then puree it. What they said not good to puree it is because is not good to eat overnight food.

if it's store in the freezer right after it's cooked, i suppose it's fine.
it is not contaminated.

boiling is a good method as it will retain vitamins & minerals.
some fruits or vege does not freeze well. i won't advise to mix a few together to puree.

Just wanted to ask - I made apple puree for my baby girl and she didn;t like it as apple was not sweet enough. I don;t want to add sugar but was thinking of mixing in a sweeter fruit - banana? papaya? Does anyone know whether it is advisable to mix fruits like this or shuold we stick to 1 fruit at a time.

BTW - my baby is just 4 mths old so tryinh puree for the 1st time. Her first puree was bottled sweet potatoes (Gerber) and she loved it but am thinking of making healthier purees at home.

Any comments or ideas?

U can try bananas/papayas but not too much coz afraid of phelgm & diarrhoea. Besides that, u can try fruits like honeydew, rockmelon, pears, avocados at this age.

If yr DD haven't tried the fruit b4, best is to try one fruit at a time (4 days) instead of mixing in case if she has any allergies.

Hope that helps!

overnight food i suppose is contaminated food like it's in touch with the air for quite some time or in touch with our saliva. so ar it might turn bad faster.
but for the wind part, i'm quite unsure. i've heard about porridge will casue wind if turns cold. but if heat to boil then cool a bit to feed i personally feel it's fine.

hey, in fact i don't like to puree apple. didn't cook it though.
taste awful after puree. i've tried b4.
use spoon to scrap then feed taste better.

have a look at this website. it does have good inforamtion about freezing baby purees.
Frozen Homemade Baby Food Cubes that Freeze Well, Which baby foods freeze best or good for homemade baby food


it says-
browning is not indicative of rot but of natural oxidization - that is unless you have used rotten fruit to begin with!

 

[lisa_ng]

oh seems like you have seen the website. hehe
was doing a search the other day when i saw this website.

in western countries, they would cook the vege and store in the freezer to make them last longer.
in sin weather not like them so har i didn't much follow their guideline for the time frame the food can store in the freezer.

Hi, thanks for your info. I did checked it out that website. Just to share with you to prevent apple turn brown can try to use a bit of lemon squeeze a bit of juice out in the apple to prevent the apple turn brown cos lemon contain of vit c. vit c will helps to preserve the apple.
Now i din puree the apple liao, i bought a thing that can put the apple in or any solid fruit, food in. It cover with a net then your bb can bite and it wont choke, it helps for teething bb too. You can put the fruits in the fridge to let it a little cold then you take it out a while then you put in the net it helps soothing the bb teeth as well. Something just to share.

But hor sometime i think old ppl saying dont makes senses so still have to consider first before i follow. Ya just got one tip from a mother, she is really cool. Ok she told me brown rice will cause bb consitipation but you have to buy that kind of purley brown rice which dosent mix with anything then you can feed that cos normally outside selling brown rice they mix with other things, for eg i let my bb gal tried Healthy time- oh god she nearly got consitipaion, she poo poo till got blood man you know why? the mother highlight to me this if you not sure pls check it out the supermarket healthy time package it write it contains of 45% iron which iron cause consitipation cos when i was pregnant that time i took the iron pill which it cause me consitipate and the doc told yes it will cause that and ask me to drink plenty of water. So i have throw the healthy time away liao.

I've a pack of pure brown rice still in the store.. LOL. Wondering when to use it.. Currently, my DS stopped cereal for almost 2weeks liao. Been on porridge oredi, so far so good and he enjoys chewing. LOL.
