The best baby food storage for your homemade purees and meals

This ten-piece set from Munchkin, which includes four bowls, four lids, and two soft-tip spoons, is a popular choice among parents and has gained thousands of rave reviews on Amazon. It’s basically life-proof—and by that, we mean spill-proof, leak-proof, and break-proof. It can handle anything you throw at it.

The bowls are BPA-free and microwave-safe and can also be washed in the dishwasher and used in the freezer, making them ideal for meal prep and for easy cleaning. Parents love their durability and quality, nothing that they withstand plenty of washes without cracking or breaking. They also mention that this set is great value for money, as it contains everything you need for feeding, and that the easy-to-grip side of the bowls and spoon shape make them user-friendly for parents and kids.

Some reviewers commented that the lids can be difficult to snap on securely, which can be frustrating when you’re in a rush.

Perfect for storing leftovers or eating snacks on the go, these NUK food storage containers are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer-safe and have helpful measurements down the side. The pots are different sizes so that they can be stacked easily for neat and tidy storage. They are also BPA-free for peace of mind. Parents rate them as easy to clean, versatile, and durable.

Some reviewers mentioned that the lids do not seal as tightly as they’d like leading to leakages, and that they might be too small for older children who eat larger portions. They are also partial to staining when storing foods such as carrots or tomatoes.

Additionally, these pots are microwave-safe and can be sterilised as often as necessary, making them a practical choice for busy parents.

While most reviews are positive, some reviewers noted that the 120ml capacity isn’t enough for storing larger amounts of milk or food. Unfortunately, the containers cannot be washed in the dishwasher, and the measurement markings are also difficult to see when they’re filled with milk.

For something a little different, look no further than these tiny Kilner jars designed for kids. An eco-friendly alternative to plastic containers, this set includes six glass jars, silicone lids, labels, and a recipe booklet.

For hassle-free baby food storage, we love the KIDDO FEEDO freezer tray. Made from premium-quality silicone, it’s BPA-free and free from harmful chemicals for peace of mind.

Crafted for durable materials and with a double zipper closure for secure storage, they’re great for purees, smoothies and more. BPA, PVC, lead and phthalate-free, these pouches are convenient, easy to store and are great for feeding on the go.
