Any working Mamas making homemade baby food ?

I’m not working yet but i have some silicone trays so i batch cook a few different things, pop them in the freezer and once frozen bag them up. I then just cook from frozen, either in the microwave or in a saucepan on the oven hob. Or I get it out of the freezer in the morning and put it in a little pot in the fridge to defrost then heat when needed x
Not sure if this would solve this issue completely but I make food and freeze it in 1oz or 3oz ice trays from Amazon. If you take it out in the morning it will take a while to get defrosted so it should be safe during transportation??? I would maybe choose things that can be had cold if the babysitter can’t warm up the food. You can easily pop whatever your baby is having that day into a Mason jar and should be good to go
So I make batches and then use an ice cube tray to freeze them. I bought reusable pouches on Amazon and then when he needs lunch while we are out and about I will microwave (you could also just thaw in advance) whatever ones I want to put together and I’ll add whole milk yogurt and/or peanut butter for added fat.
@Kyla Yes I am looking at pouches on Amazon now. That and silicone ice trays.
@Sophie okay so reheating does destroy the quality or texture?
@Jessica thank you. I will order the ice trays as well and maybe a little lunch bag with an icepack.
Could you send avocado or other fruits/ veggies soft and not needing refrigeration? Otherwise could you try purreing beans and sending them or having babysitter do that? There’s also frozen pouches that I store and transport milk and food in on Amazon! https://a.co/d/9ROwS5C
Are you open to pouches? There are various stages (purée to chunky) and 100% organic ones. I have a nanny and she feeds 1-2 veggie or meat pouches to my 9 month old per day
