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 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.

The MAM Storage Solution Pack is a set of five 120ml BPA-free plastic storage cups designed for storing breast milk and baby food. Reviewers praise these storage pots for their versatility and convenience, making them suitable for both fridge and freezer storage. They feature secure screw-top lids, ensuring no spills, and a washable labelling area to keep track of storage dates. 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. Parents appreciate the durability and sustainability of these jars, noting that the silicone lids are air-tight and leak-proof.

We love that they’re made from sustainable glass, meaning they’re free from toxins and chemicals, and they can be used in the fridge, freezer and microwave (with specific instructions for defrosting).

These jars are hand-wash only, which some users might not enjoy, and the 110ml capacity is quite small, so they’re more suited to younger children.

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.

Customers have praised how easy it is to use, as the portions pop out of the silicone effectively. The portion size is on the small side, though, so it may not be as suitable for older children.

Mealtimes are much more enjoyable if children can use their imagination, and these fun food pouches certainly help with that. 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.

Reviewers did note that they can be trickier to clean than some options, and aren’t as versatile as other containers.
