Baby Cubes For Easy Baby Food Storage

When Oliver first started eating solids, I pureed fruits and vegetables and froze the results in ice cube trays before transferring the cubes into freezer bags.  Storing pureed baby food like this was just an okay experience – once the cubes were in the freezer bags, they would inevitably freeze together in huge clumps that weren’t that easy to separate without a large hammer.  Not only that, once I’d finally chiseled the cubes apart, the giant fruit and vegetable ice cubes weren’t all that portable.

While shopping the other day, I came across Canadian Company Petite Creation’s Baby Cubes and promptly purchased two sets.  Charlotte just turned six months old and she’s eating pablum, but I’d already been thinking about which foods to puree for her.  Baby Cubes are SO easy to use.  Here are just a few of the perks:

• Baby Cubes are sold in sets of eight two ounce/70ml containers.  The containers fit neatly into a tray, which can be stacked on top of more Baby Cubes sets.  Use a dry erase marker to record dates/food information onto each tray (a writing space is provided).
• Each container is marked with 30ml, 45ml, and 70ml measurements to suit the needs of your baby and the lid is attached to the container for convenience.
• Baby Cubes are made using non toxic Polypropylene virgin raw material.
• These containers are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe.  When cleaning using the dishwasher, simply pop the containers into their tray with the lids open to keep them from flying around the top rack.
• Because each cube contains its own meal, just take as much food as you need out of the freezer or fridge.  Self contained food also makes Baby Cubes portable – just toss them into your diaper bag with a spoon and bib and off you go!

I’ve been using Baby Cubes for a few weeks now, and I simply love the convenience of these containers.  It’s definitely worth purchasing at least two sets (four is about right), but it depends on how much baby food you plan to make in advance (by the way, if you’re looking for some great puree/first meal ideas to try, I highly recommend picking up any book by best selling author Annabel Karmel).

Baby Cubes are reasonably price starting at $6.99 CDN and can be purchased from Babies R Us (although Baby Cubes aren’t listed on the website) as well as these retailers.
