Making own solids

Hi ladies,

I am going to start my DS on solids in the next day or so.

I would like to make my own and freeze it in ice-cubes. I know that once I puree the veges I need to add BF or formula or water to make it a runny consistency.

My question is......

do I puree the vege then freeze it, so when I defrost it I then add the liquid to make it runny

or

do I puree it, add the liquid so its runny then freeze it??

I guess it doesnt matter?? but just wondering what you do.

TIA

I use the water from the veges (boiled) and add that too the puree once it's mashed, and then use a fork to stir it through and then freeze it... and if it's still to lumpy or not watery enough I use a little boiled water from the kettle and put that through it once it's thawed out

Fruit I tend to just puree or mash as they are.

Veggies are steamed, and then the coarser ones I puree down with a bit of the cooking liquor. If I'm making a chicken combo then I poach the chicken in the pot with the veggies steaming over the top.

Be careful pureeing potato as it can go really gluey. Best to use a potato ricer, or push it through a sieve.

When reheating, I really try to avoid using the microwave as it kills so many nutrients, so just put the cubes in a pot on the stove on low. Then once hot, I cool down to the right temp by adding milk or cooled boiled water.
