Freeze the plops right away and then take them off the sheet when they are frozen and put them into plastic bags. Label and date. Small tupperware jars with lids serve the same purpose and stack easily. Frozen baby foods can be stored for up to two months. When you take frozen foods out for baby, warm the food in a cup placed in a saucepan of boiling water with a lid on.
Cereals are typically the first foods given to a baby because they contain lots of iron.
You can buy the commercial baby cereals, or prepare your own, by running oatmeal through your blender, for instance. Fruits are generally given next. Except for raw, mashed banana, you will need to cook all other fruits till they are soft. You can also peel peaches, plums and apricots and boil or steam them. Use fresh vegetables whenever possible in order to provide the best nutrition and flavor for your baby.
