Storage & Reheating for Recipes 6 months
Storage: Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the freshness of these recipes for 6 months old babies. At room temperature, purees should not be left out for more than two hours. In the refrigerator, store them in airtight containers for up to three days. If you plan to make larger batches, freezing is an excellent option. Freeze purees in ice cube trays, then transfer to freezer bags for up to three months. For reheating, the microwave is quick and effective—use short bursts and stir frequently to ensure even heating. Alternatively, a stovetop method with gentle warming in a saucepan works well, helping to restore the puree’s texture. Always test the temperature before serving to ensure it’s not too hot. If a puree becomes too thick upon reheating, simply stir in a little breast milk or formula to revive its original consistency.
