Ok so dd is 6.5 months and we started weaning end of Nov. We're doing purees and finger foods. I made my own fruit and veg purees to start and froze them in ice cube trays and have used these all up. There was an offer in the supermarket on the hipp jars so i bought 6 last week and so far have used up 3 - it says on the jar to use within 24 hours once openso we usually give some of the same jar for dinner one night then some for lunch the next day. She really can eat and will have half the jar at each sitting.
Anyway I dont like pouches due to the recycling issue so have decided to reuse the glass jars and just blitz up our dinners for her for the time being. For example, last night the rest of us (me dh and 2 ds) had lasagne so i have pureed some of the meat sauce bit and popped it in one of the jars. My question is how long would this keep in the fridge? I plan to give her some for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. If it was leftovers for myself i would say 2-3 days for most things but it feels like maybe it should be less time for a wee baby? so her dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow would have been made last night. Is that too long?
I would like to make up some of tonights dinner for her too and put it in the jar but it wouldnt be used until dinner tomorrow night so about 24 hours later. Would that be ok? It feels pointless to freeze it only to defrost the next day.
You would think after 3 kids I would be better at this weaning business ....
Thanks for any advice.
