I am looking for great ways to start my son out on food for the first time. He is 5 months old and I am very excited to be making my own baby food. A few questions I have one being how does everyone store the food? What do you feel is the best way? I’m a new Mom and new to the website.

So you are not losing any more by microwaving than you would if you cooked them on the stove. That is just what I have read. Nikki, from what I have read all food when cooked lose some nutrients.

I buy a bunch when they're on sale, puree them with my immersion blender and freeze in ice cube trays. They work well and actually, never turn brown this way. Also, good luck with the rutabaga veggie combo! I made it and my girls hated it. I tried it and hated it as well. The rutabaga added a very bitter taste, so make sure to get a small rutabaga.

I usually buy four or five at a time, wait a couple days until they're fully ripe, peel, pit and put them in the food processer. You can also dice the meat and feed as a finger food. It'll turn brown but it's truly okay. I also freeze bananas this way, as well as whole without the peel. When they thaw they'll brown, though. And only use citrus if your baby is old enough for it.

I also freeze bananas which most people don't do because of the same reason as the avocados, so I can't wait to try it! Thanks again. C. Hi Megan,

I sprinkled a bit of lemon juice on and tried to get as much air out of the baggie as possible. The outside did turn brown when I thawed it, but he still gobbled it down. It wasn't pretty anymore, but it tasted just fine. Hi– Just FYI here, my son went gaga for avocados as one of his first veggies and freezing worked fine for us.
