It’s just clarified butter, folks. I agree with the other poster - make it yourself. I store it in this: https://www.amazon.com/Healthy-Planet-Solutions-Reusable-Plastic/dp/B01LZOXTJ8. In baggies for extra security. (Although they haven’t leaked yet.)

It's like this one. They had them on clearance at Babies R Us. It works amazingly for me, so I dunno why they were trying to get rid of them.

This is a rhetorical question, but why would you use a shortened Amazon link to hide your spam affiliate link, when you can make the link say whatever you want right in Reddit?

Also, bananas are totally freeze-able. As is most fruit.

Buy yourself some of these and take your snack game to the next level!

They are nicely sized so that a good amount of snacks fit in them and then they won't get crushed in the diaper bag!

u/struggle_cuddle_club · 6 pointsr/baby

Cloth diapers - flour sack towelsfrom amazon as the stuffers - cheap and clean easily. Bamboo liners for the poop. Rubber gloves for swishing it in the toilet for the parts that don't come off with the liners. Lot's of covers that can be used from newborn to 35 lbs. You can use any bum cream if you use the flour sack towels as well FYI because it doesn't ruin them. Also pick up a couple of these laundry bags. Wipes.

Cleaning is easy - "quick wash" with a bit of soap, then a hot long wash for extra soiled diapers.

Baby nest was nice to have but not a necessity. Blankets/towels can help. Also a wrap is nice for the first 6 months but not necessary.

Gripe water for gassy baby, Punkin Butt teething oil

A pump, even hand pump will be handy. Especially in the first few weeks she's regulating her supply.

Zip up sleepers (snaps suck)

Baby Bag (backpack style)

Don't worry about a baby changing table, you can change anywhere. Don't worry about a diaper genie since you're cloth diapering.

Breastfeeding scarf/carseat cover

Older baby (6-12 months will come fast)

- snack containers

- Food holder thing(frozen bananas are awesome for teething)

u/littlemonster22 · 5 pointsr/beyondthebump

Don't refreeze or microwave BM. I thin them with a little water. And I warm them in a bottle warmer. I freeze them in these cubes then pop the top off and drop it in the bottle warmer

u/SlipperyRick · 4 pointsr/cumfetish

I purchased these trays from Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012S9D4S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It took me about 7 or 8 loads to fill it up. The trays and stick are poorly made but that actually worked to my advantage because I was able to pull the sticks in and out throughout the 2-3 week process of filling them up. Sometimes it was hard to get the stick back in and I had to use a butter knife and jab in there to clear the hole back out for the stick and then put it back in the freezer.

My wife is incredible and we basically try anything that might get the other off. She knows I have a cum fetish and has seen some of the crazy cum related porn I have watched and she said she was game. I highly doubt she will be able to consume the entire thing but she said she would try and worst case scenario I can get some picture of her sucking on it and then stick in her pussy and ass. In the porn Feeding Frenzy 6 Delilah Strong eats a cumsicle and struggles a little, Annette Schwarz makes one in a couple videos and handles it pretty well. Really looking forward to trying, has to be the right night when we are in a really romantic mood. Rose petal and candle type shit.

u/closetdork · 4 pointsr/beyondthebump

Ah... we just went through this three weeks ago. Our little guy turned 6 months last week and we introduced solids when he was about 5.5 months.

We thought he was ready because he's already able to sit up straight, has strong neck (and can look away when he's had enough) and has almost tripled his birth weight so milk alone would not be enough to give him the daily intake of calories.

We also skipped rice cereals for fear of constipation and allergies. The first food was avocado - it's easy to make, no boiling necessary, no putting in blender necessary. We just picked an avocado that's firm but has a slight give when you press them slightly, cut them in quarters and put them into these little containers and pop them in the freezer (so the avocado doesn't turn brown... there's nothing wrong with it, we just don't like how it looks after it's oxidized :)).

We give him a quarter of avocado (mushed, mixed with a bit of milk to make it creamy) at 7PM (his bedtime is 8). That would then be his dinner + a bottle of milk. The first night we gave him that, he slept for 8 hours (as opposed to the usual 6). As we upped the amount of solids that he takes, his sleep gets longer and longer. This past week he's been sleeping from 8PM to 730AM without waking up for a feed, and since we didn't change anything we'd like to think that it's the solids that's preventing him from waking up hungry in the middle of the night.

At the beginning, though, I was almost convinced we didn't do it right because he had this weird face whenever we put the mush into his mouth (he didn't spit it out or gag or anything, but he made it clear he wasn't impressed), and he much preferred milk. Turns out that he was just getting used to the new texture and taste and now he practically inhales it.

At this point we've tried: avocado, sweet potatoes (not a big fan), pear, and we're gonna try carrot next. We make the food ourselves (using Baby Bullet) but turns out that, with carrot, it's preferable to get the bottled ones because raw fresh carrots have a lot of nitrates. Who would've known?

Good job on transitioning your LO out of the room! It was the same for us too - he sleeps better on his own. We got rid of the swaddle at around 3 months tho, cos we didn't want him to roll over in his sleep swaddled. We used Woombie convertible when we were in the in-between stage (about 1 week) and he now sleeps in Halo Sleep Sack.

GOOD LUCK! <3

u/morbosad · 4 pointsr/Parenting

We made homemade purées starting at 5 months. It’s pretty easy really. We had a magic bullet lying around for some reason, and that worked pretty well. A blender would work too. You don’t need some fancy baby food maker device.

Beyond that:

  • a steam basket and a sauce pan for steaming vegetables
  • this silicone freezer tray or a regular ice cube tray
  • gallon freezer bags

    And that’s about it. We made a couple batches of various fruits or vegetables every week or two. The cubes last a while in the freezer, and we took a couple cubes out of the freezer every night to use the next day.
u/ValkoSipuliSuola · 3 pointsr/Parenting

The mesh feeders filled with frozen fruit work really well.

u/ez617 · 3 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Popsicles! I've been trying to stockpile healthy summer treat recipes, so I'd like to try out some of my newfound popsicle recipes. How easy was that?

u/justsomemammal · 3 pointsr/beyondthebump

I bought these little green pouches. You can puree anything you want and keep 'em in the freezer or fridge until you need 'em. No utensils, no mess (unless kiddo is an overzealous squeezer).

u/spaceistheplaceface · 3 pointsr/BabyLedWeaning

i also bought the extra pack of caps, so far we have only lost one!
i put smoothies in there, or yogurt blended with fruit. store in the freezer and then defrost in the fridge until they are soft enough to eat

u/KatieTornado · 2 pointsr/xxfitness

I do a hybrid of some of the other posters.

I grocery shop once a week and stock up on staples: protein (wild caught fish, tofu, whey powder), fruits, veggies, lemons/limes, HOT SAUCE, oatmeal, eggs, yogurt, milk, nuts, etc.

For my husband, who eats whatever the hell he wants without changing his weight, I make 3 recipes over the weekend and he takes servings for lunch and dinner each day. This past weekend I made mushroom stroganoff, beef stew, broccoli leek soup, and quinoa with broccoli and cheddar.

Every Sunday I make a batch of fruit puree (usually pear, apple, peach). I portion it into pouches for a quick dose of carbs whenever I need it throughout the week.

For me, I make a few days of protein at a time (usually fish) and portion it. Then each day I make a veg/fruit/starch to meet my macros each time I have a meal. This could be steamed or roasted veggies, or a serving of fruit puree.

u/TommyFive · 2 pointsr/soylent

I use the Oxo LockTop containers for the dry powder and oil.

Then for the blended drink, every day I carry 3 12oz ball jars with my DIY mixture.

u/WillowWagner · 2 pointsr/keto

Remind him there are pro and semi-pro athletes winning ironman contests, 100 mile runs, 500 mile cycle races on keto. Not just finishing, but winning. You don't need carbs to compete, but you do need to be adapted, and that just takes time.

You can use things like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Reusable-Storage-Leakproof-Homemade-Toddlers/dp/B01LZOXTJ8/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1510900345&sr=8-5&keywords=squeeze%2Bpack%2Breusable&th=1 (there are several brands and shapes, and I don't have a preference. You can make something like chia pudding (search recipes for keto chia pudding.)
Chia seeds, a little protein powder, heavy cream and some mct oil if you like it. MCT is just a type of fat, but it hits your liver fast and give a quick(ish) energy boost. Make ahead, chill overnight, and it's about the consistency of tapioca.

You can buy packs of almond butter in ready made squeeze tubes. You can make your own packs of salted almonds with small baggies.

I really hope to hear you're both succeeding fabulously.

u/DeeWHYDeeX · 2 pointsr/workingmoms

It’s amazing how quickly you forget all this stuff: my daughter is now 4, but I also have a 3-month-old so I’m gonna have to yank it all outta the recesses of my mom brain!

I think I started be sending one meal (basically one container with a couple ounces of food). She was such a messy eater but the caregivers don’t mind! They have their tricks and they’re used to it! Eventually I was sending in one container for her to have after each bottle.

I used these small containers at first, and eventually moved up to the larger ones once she started relying more on solid food after her first birthday:

u/shinypinkflamingo · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

My friend who pumped exclusively used these trays, specifically for baby food and breast milk. They worked great.

u/ohsydneyvintage · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

Have you tried one of those food feeders?

Here.

u/lancealittle · 2 pointsr/moderatelygranolamoms

Some upfront costs, but on the waste front: in addition to the obvious cloth diapers/cloth wipes, we also go through very few paper towels in our house (mostly for cat puke or similar). Old clothes, diapers, and the million and a half receiving blankets/burp cloths get cut up and stashed under the sink. We have a huge pile, but we go through them regularly with a toddler and a 1st-grader in the house. We use them for wiping faces, hands, tables, floors, everything. We have converted almost entirely to cloth snack bags. There are lots of brands, but those are my fave for pliability, capacity, and the fact that they zip closed. They're good for just about anything that's not liquid, including fruit. We also got some reusable pouches that were great for baby breakfast (mostly oatmeal and fruit and yogurt blends) but also awesome for sending yogurt/applesauce in the big kid's lunch. We also have tins that will hold food for snacks in the diaper bag or lunches -- we have a couple sizes of these. It helps cut down on the disposable food containers, while also encouraging making/packing your own.

And yeah, for less stuff, just have less stuff. Totally easier said than done, but that's more or less all there is to it. Say no and regularly cull.

u/smegdawg · 2 pointsr/MealPrepSunday

Because for a while there my kid would not eat vegetables or anything green or orange. So we started pureeing various blends. Mango carrots, avocados and bananas, Peas and Carrots.

We did the ice cubes and he dug that for a bit, but he'd recognize the color and stop after a while.

u/kaidomac · 2 pointsr/mealprep

If you don't already have them, an immersion blender + Instant Pot = your new BFF. I would suggest buying this accessory kit:

https://www.amazon.com/Aiduy-Pressure-Accessories-Compatible-Instant/dp/B07MHWRSJL

Among the goodies included is a silicone egg-bite tray, which you can use to fill with food & freeze for future use, so you can make & freeze batches at a time. A few ideas:

  1. Pureed veggies. Note that you can puree meats, like soft chicken (ex. boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked in the Instant Pot), so you can make things like pureed chicken & sweet-potato.
  2. Flavored yogurt. Just blend fruit & yogurt, makes the yogurt taste better & adds fruit to the diet.
  3. Blender smoothies. A great way to mix a lot of things. Spinach pineapple smoothies are actually way better than they sound, lol.

    When self-feeding becomes a thing, check out these reusable squeeze-food pouches:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H8DN35J/

    Lots of benefits:

  4. Can be used for all of the food ideas above (smoothies, fruit-flavored yogurts, baby food purees)
  5. Comes with a fill ring, which makes pouring easy
  6. Can be put in dishwasher's top rack (huzzah!)

    Like you said, making baby food at home is way cheaper than buying it pre-made. Plus you can freeze it up in batches. The Instant Pot makes it easy to soften just about anything to the point where it will blend well, and the immersion blender lets you blend stuff up right in the pot. If you have the budget available, a Blendtec or Vitamix blender is pretty awesome because they can literally liquify meat (ask me how I know that). Plus you can make no-chunk fruit yogurts & various types of smoothies, whole juices, etc.

    One way to save on containers for freezer storage is to use Press 'N Seal wrap. It's similar to regular Saran wrap, but it has little suction cups on the inside to help it stick to itself, so you can actually lock out air. So prep the baby food, fill the silicone mold, freeze, pop them out, wrap each one in Press 'N Seal, then throw those in a large gallon Ziploc freezer bag, and voila!

Gerber Graduate Bowls. Saw someone mention them in previous threads so I actually picked up a pack at Target yesterday. Really cheap option for 4 bowls/lids at $4.99. These things have great lids as well.

u/doxiegrl1 · 1 pointr/Cooking

I bought these because they're cheap, have reusable sticks, and come in small proportions so the mix lasts longer: http://www.amazon.com/Kidco-Healthy-Snack-Frozen-Treat/dp/B0012S9D4S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1375135855&sr=8-7&keywords=popsicle+molds

u/lar98 · 1 pointr/kiddiekitchen

Yah, didn't think of that! I bought these trays to freeze breastmilk in. http://www.amazon.com/Fresh-Baby-Easy-Breast-Trays/dp/B0007CS4EU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374685019&sr=8-1&keywords=ice+cube+tray+baby+food You could just do what you're doing already but store them in this instead of freezer bags.

u/kinderdoc · 1 pointr/Parenting

I was intimidated initially too, but it was just ridiculously easy. From opening the cookbook to putting away the last container was 2 hours, once a week. I saved hundreds. I started at 6 months with pureed sweet potato (clean it, stab it with a fork, wrap in aluminum foil, oven 400 for 45 mins, throw in blender with some water to desired texture=baby food for a week) then got braver and tried most of the recipes in this book and stored them in these things. BPA free, freezer and microwave safe, 2 oz containers. Good luck!!

u/Kallisti50253 · 1 pointr/breakingmom

Amazon has these you could put whatever you want in them, applesauce works well, or regular yogurt.

u/midwestlover610 · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

I'm gunna go with teething! Like, about to pop through teething. My little guy was doing this to me so I gave him more finger food because he would chow on cheerios and puffs. Still wouldn't eat. Couple days later, two teeth came through. I'm guessing the roughness feels kinda good, it puts more pressure there. He's still refusing most foods and cranky about it. So, I took all of our frozen purees and have been putting them in This. He goes nuts on the food that way. Or freeze them in a popsicle mold.

u/TypicalGally · 1 pointr/bicycletouring

I recently saw a YouTube video where some backpackers were using baby food pouches. No idea what their durability is, I like the idea though. GoToobs are comparable in price and definitely sturdier, with the downside that they retain shape when empty.

u/HitlersHotpants · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

Not OP, but we use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GJ5KVR6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 and love them. I clean them with a bottle brush and it works great.

I use these guys for yogurt. Baby only eats half of the carton usually, so ill put the remainder in one of these for the following day.

u/noomehtrevo · 1 pointr/ketorecipes

They keep well. I have one of these bad boys that I cook and store them in. Thinking about buying a second one because my husband has started sneaking mine. It fits comfortably in an 8 at but for the 6qt you'll have to trim the corners.

I actually just ordered these ones! https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Food-Pouch-Pack-Spoon/dp/B00ZSKTQB6. I got a large set for the price seemed worth it. Plus, if I loose track of one and I gets all nasty I can just trash it, with out feeling guilty.

u/ElsieSnuffin · 1 pointr/Parenting

Try freezing breastmilk or formula into cube, and putting them into one of those mesh feeders for them to gnaw on. My daughter had no interest in frozen plastic/rubber teethers or frozen wash cloths, but she loved to chew and suck on those 'milk cubes'. It can get a bit messy but it was effective!

u/coldcoffeereddit · 1 pointr/wicked_edge

as a new homeowner myself, i'm reminded i need to fill the salt tank every month or so when i take a shower and i feel different afterwards.

softeners are really quite easy as there is not much to maintain you just have to remember to fill them with salt before they run out.

anyways, i only take apart the head of my d/e when i'm changing razors, which is about every 3rd or 4th shave, because why not? I've already saved myself hundreds of dollars vs cartridges. In between changing razors i rinse the head in alcohol to displace the water and make it dry fast and clean without taking it apart. I just keep a little air tight container of it with my shaving stuff. re-useable disposable baby food container works well.

something like this to give you an idea

u/originaljackster · 1 pointr/Parenting

So just to put this out there they do make pouches that you can fill and reseal yourself. We didn't really trust pre-made baby food in general so we mostly made our own and these pouches worked great. All the convenience of a pouch plus control over what's going in them and since you reuse them it's better for the environment too. We used these things a lot until our LO found out how much fun it was to squeeze all of the food out onto the ground instead of eating it (>.<) but at that point they were mostly able to feed themselves anyway so it wasn't a big deal. Here's a link so you can see what I'm talking about:

On Amazon but there are other places to get them obviously: Link

Where's the aspirin?

My list is baby things. Lots and lots of baby things. I need them all. Do you have a spare $400,000? Because that's what it's going to cost to raise this child.

Here are my items that I feel I need the most, that add to $20:

Wipes. Twenty bucks. Aaaaand we're done.

Told you babies are expensive.

Other combo items could include:

Pacifiers, $8.99

Onesies, $12.99

Aaaand we're done again. See, expensive.

More:

Crib Sheet, $9.99

Homemade baby food containers, $9.99
