Freezing and re-heating advice:
Let the food cool fully, slice and 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. Sprinkle with a little water and place the food on a baking tray in the oven at a low temp, or in the microwave. Heat until piping hot throughout, or serve at room temp.
Please follow NHS guidance on safe preparation and storage of food.
How To Serve for 6-7 months: Slice into finger width pieces and offer one slice at a time.
How To Serve for 8-9 months+: Cut the slice in half or quarters depending on appetite. Cut into smaller bite sized pieces for older babies to help develop or master pincer grip.
