Depends if you’re planning on doing BLW or purées. For purées and you’re planning on making your own, then to freeze portions, then you can just pop them out the freezer when you need them. I used large silicone trays for my first born and then stored them labelled freezer bags. If you wasn’t keen on using premade pouches then you can get reusable pouches to put your own food in x
The book ‘what mummy makes’ is great. I used it with my first. Lots of meals that are suitable from 6+ months and even a freezer stash section so can prepare. I batch cook from there for my 3 year old still so that’s what my baby will be having from Jan onwards too x
Personally I plan to baby led weaning and try save few extra of our dinners to freeze like potatoes, vegetables, slices of meats...
