Much like I shared previously about expensive baby food containers being unnecessary, easy freezer storage doesn't have to be expensive either. I'm being very serious when I write that you only need basic ice cube trays, the kind you can find anywhere.

Babies tend … Continue reading Baby Food Day 1- Bananas!
