Expert Q&A

| By John Dorsey, M.D. Pediatrician | ||
I am making my baby homemade baby food. How long can I store the pureed foods in the freezer safely?
The rule of thumb on homemade baby food is to go by the length of time you can keep adult foods frozen. The pureed foods should last a couple of months in the freezer. I like to hear about the homemade baby foods because the nutritional value you'll be providing your baby is just as good as store-bought baby food and the price is significantly lower. It is a great choice.
