Freezing and re-heating advice:
Let the food cool fully, then place on a baking tray flat in the freezer for up to an hour. Then you can put them into an airtight container or freezer bags, this will stop them sticking together. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remove as many from the freezer as you need and defrost fully at room temp or overnight in the fridge.
Please follow NHS guidance on safe preparation and storage of food.
How To Serve for 6-7 months: Keep whole and offer one finger at a time
How To Serve for 8-9 months+: Cut the fingers into half or quarters depending on appetite. Cut into smaller bite sized pieces for older babies to help develop or master pincer grip.
