Hi,
This is probably a very silly question...but I have started making baby food and just wanted to check i'm not missing some important something. So far I am making fruit and sweet potatoe, just boiling it and then mushing it up and then into ice cubes in the freezer all covered up. When I want to feed it to him, do I need to re-heat to boiling point and then wait until a suitable temp to serve or can I just heat up until its warm enough since its got no meat in it. How do you guys make your food? -------------

With my frozen vege's, I just pop however many cubes is needed into a cup, and zap them until not frozen. Be careful to check and stir anything you heat in the microwave as it will have hot spots. I don't heat to boiling point intentionally, but have been known to do it by mistake. Just use the inside of your wrist to check it's not to hot. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

I just defrost my frozen cubes (either in the fridge or microwave depending on how organised i am!) and then heat in the microwave until warm (about 15 secs max). And yeah, make sure you stir it well after microwaving to spread out any hotspots.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

As above, if I'm organised enough I take it out in the morning to defrost & heat in microwave or just zap from frozen but only ever to warm never boiling. ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |

When I make mine I do it in flexible muffin thingys, makes it really easy to pop them out. My wee hefty boy eats more than one of the normal size muffin cups worth. I take it from freezer and put it in his bowl, microwave it for a minute, add a bit more water to it then thicken it with baby rice/baby musli, and heat for another 10 secs if it needs it. -------------

I just defrost my ice cube by sitting the boil in a warm bath of water until they are nice and warm for him to eat. I don't like using a microwave. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
