懂得如何有效的冷藏宝宝的食物，这对于工作繁忙、好不容易自己做一次食物的家长来说，简直就是一种福利。

方法一：

彻底清洁冰块盘以后，用勺子挖宝宝的食物放到冰块盘中。如果是有盖子的冰块盘就更理想了，因为这可以保护食物，阻止冻斑或者是冰箱中的其他气味影响食物。如果你没有带盖子的冰块盘，你可以盖一层符合食品安全规定的塑料膜。有些人会用锡箔纸，当然，我们不太建议这个是因为可能会有锡箔的碎片掉到食物中。

把装了食物的冰块盘放进冰箱（只要放稳固了）挤平以后放易拉袋，就能够减少占用冰箱的空间。（译者注：很难想象那个是什么场景，哈哈）

这个仅限于少量的宝宝食物，通常为一盎司左右。起先，一个格子里的食物可能对你的宝宝来说就已经足够吃一顿了，但是随着宝宝的成长，你可能需要在每个易拉袋中放两个格子。

你也可以通过混合和比配不同的水果或者蔬菜小块，做各种带有不同香味的宝宝食物——把一格苹果和一格胡萝卜混合在一起，太美味了！

用塑料的冰块盘存放宝宝的食物安全吗？

最近有很多关于冷冻或者加热宝宝食物的塑料容器的看法，因为大家会担忧是否塑料容器中的化学物质会进入宝宝的食物。

一些冰块盘是专门为宝宝的食物设计的，不含那些可能存在的有害化学物质——不过如果你想要经常使用冰块盘，不妨可以尝试买个硅树脂的，或者是不锈钢的。

方法二：

跟方法一有点像，因为也是要把宝宝的食物冰冻起来，再放到易拉袋中，不同的是，不是用冰块盘，而是用硅树脂的迷你烤饼锅！它们很方便把食物取出来，而且，它们的功能不仅局限在储存食物这一方面，所以即使宝宝长大了不需要储存婴儿食物了，它们还是可以被利用到。

方法三：

如果你没有用来冷冻宝宝食物的合适大小的容器，那你也可以利用烤盘（当然，这个会更占用冰箱的空间）

只要用勺子把你准备好的宝宝食物挖出来放到烤盘上，堆成一个个小堆（当然，请注意这个不适合那些很稀很烂的果泥，那些堆不起来）用安全的塑料膜把这些都盖上（或者松松的盖上一张锡箔纸）冰冻起来，然后像前面的方法一样，把冰冻过后的部分食物装进易拉袋。

弹簧说：其实这篇文章共有五个方法，今天我只翻译了三个，其它两个另外开贴分享吧。翻译到这里，当然我不可能知道国外到底是怎么冷藏的，因为没看到任何图片，不过可以想象一下，是不是都是冰冻成一小块一小块的以后，把这些小块都放到比如我们这边的保鲜袋这样的袋子里面，要吃的时候就拿一小块出来加热？

哈哈，或许可以等国外的妈妈来跟我们一起分享真实的经验和照片

弹簧找到图片了，哈哈：

Knowing how to freeze baby food safely makes it possible to prepare and store entire batches of homemade food for your baby - a real boon for busy parents.

How To Freeze Baby Food - Method 1

Thoroughly clean a regular ice-cube tray and spoon your prepared baby food into each section. A lidded tray is ideal, as it protects the food from freezer burn or from picking up any other odours from the freezer. If you don't have a lidded tray, you can cover the tray with food-safe plastic wrap. Some people use foil, although we don't recommend it as you can find that some pieces of foil remain in the food!

Place the ice-cube tray into the freezer and - once the cubes are firm - press them out and place them into zip-top bags, which take up less space in your freezer.

This gives you perfectly sized little portions of baby food - usually around an ounce or so. One cube per meal may be enough for your child at first, but as he grows you may wish to place two cubes in each zip-top bag.

You can also make lots of different baby food flavours by mixing and matching different fruit and veggie cubes - combining a cube of pureed apple with a cube of pureed carrot, for example - yum!

ARE PLASTIC ICE CUBE TRAYS SAFE FOR FREEZING BABY FOOD?

There have been lots of concerns recently about freezing or heating baby food in plastic containers, because of the possibility of chemicals migrating from the plastics and into baby's foods.

Some ice cube trays are specifically designed for baby food (see below) and are free of these potentially harmful chemicals - but if you want to use a regular ice cube tray, then you might like to try a silicone tray, or even one made from stainless steel (the Tickle Trunk stocks one here).

How To Freeze Baby Food - Method 2

This is similar to method 1, because it involves freezing baby food then transferring it to zip-top bags - but instead of using ice cube trays, you can use silicone mini-muffin pans! Their flexibility makes it easy to pop out the food portions - plus, of course, their use goes beyond the storage of baby food when your little one is older!

How To Freeze Baby Food - Method 3

If you don't have any appropriately sized containers for freezing baby food, then you can use the baking sheet/cookie sheet method (although you'll need a little more freezer space initially).

Just spoon your prepared baby food on to a baking sheet to form little mounds (although please note that this won't work as well if your purees are very runny). Cover the entire baking sheet with food safe wrap (or loosely cover with foil), freeze until firm, then transfer the portions of food to a zip-top bag as before.
