Need tips on saving - 7 mnth baby foods

MeenLoch · Nov 16, 2009

Hello all,
I need suggestions for my 7 month old girl.
I feed her bottled baby foods from Gerber or beechnut.
She is not too fond of what I make at home. I tried that plus it s almost the same cost I think minus the hassles. I am a busy mom and this works with me.

I am looking for tips to save on food jars if anyone of you uses it here.
I registered into some baby sites and I get coupons, plus I directly get coupons from Beechnut and Gerber's.

Any ideas ?
I will look into baby foods threads too.

I think target makes their own store-brand baby food. Have you tried to comparison-shop? Usually store-brands are lesser than branded products, so try to do a price-compare.

This is what I do for my 15 month old son.

Once a week, buy fresh fish and chicken. Boil it, puree it and freeze it in an ice-tray in 1 ounce portions. Once frozen, I store the cubes in a ziploc in the freezer. When needed, I take out a cube or 2, defrost it, mix with veggies, tadka and cereal to feed my baby.

I think you can follow the same process with fruits and veggies too. The wholesome baby website is good for ideas on what foods to use. I have also tried this process with cooked daal and it works well.

Thank you so much for your ideas.
Freezing is great, but how do you thaw it ?
