The fun of new tastes and textures at the start of bub’s food journey means cooking up a storm, and thanks to one clever mum, we’re about to show you how to make the most out of your baby food prep time.
Nyssa from our Baby Groups says this idea is being passed around their group, with each mum loving how simple and clever it is.
“Big thanks to the mum who gave me the idea to freeze food in ice cube portions to make a different combo each day! Beef mince going into the freezer right now,” she explained.

Pop the purees into ice cube containers until frozen, before transferring into labelled freezer bags. It means a freezer full of mini-meals that can easily be thrown together in different combinations.
