Safely Storing Baby Food with Littleware Storage Containers

This review is sponsored by Littleware. All opinions are my own.
 
My son is going through a weird phase with food right now. He wants to feed himself, but he is picky about finger foods. I'm not sure what to do. I decided I should probably bring the baby food maker back out and start getting nutrients into him anyway I can.

 
I have always liked to make my baby food in bulk. So when I was sent the Littleware Baby Food Storage Containers to review, I was kind of excited because they look like little baby food jars. Littleware Baby Food Storage Containers are BPA free, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe.

Beech-Nut Organic is Real Food For Babies + Giveaway

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Beech-Nut. I received a free coupon to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

When you think about branching out and giving your baby something besides breast milk or formula, you want the best for them. Some moms make their own baby food, I tried for a while. Making your own baby food can be fun, but sometimes it can be time consuming. That's why I love the new Beech-Nut organic line because I can still give my baby the best without the guilt because it isn't baby food, it' real food for babies.

 
Beech-Nut believes every baby deserves real food that is bright, bold and unique, and as close to homemade as possible.

Storing Homemade Baby Food with Tutti Bimbi

Thank you to Tutti Bimbi for the products to provide this post.

I never really made my own baby food with SweetPea. Maybe it was because I didn't have the right set-up, but I was very intimidated by the whole process. When Peanut was born, I was determined to make it work. And then he ended up not really eating it, but that's another story. I still like to make baby pops and smoothies for my littles. I was recently sent Tutti Bimbi Baby Food Freezer Tray to try out. And I decided to make a some yummy Sneaky Strawberry Carrot Pops. These pops are great for a teething baby and even my four year old finds them tasty as well.

Peanut Started Solids!

So we started Peanut on solids. We decided to go with Squash (we gave him butternut) because I read it was one of the best food for babies to start out with.

This is from his first time eating:



And this video is from after I made some homemade yellow squash baby food which he loved even more! He has also tried applesauce which he isn't really a fan of (of course it was jar food) and carrots (which he LOVES). I've been using the baby food recipes that came with my Cook-n-Blend baby food maker.
