What to look for in baby food containers
- Food-safe materials - Choose BPA-free, food-grade plastic, silicone, or stainless steel containers to avoid chemical leaching into food.
- Leak-proof lids - Secure, leak-proof lids are essential for bags and change bags. Look for silicone seals or locking clips.
- Appropriate portion sizes - Baby-sized containers (around 100-150ml) are ideal for purees and early solids. Toddler containers are typically larger.
- Easy to open - Lids should be easy for adults to manage but appropriately secure to prevent little hands from opening mid-bag.
- Dishwasher safe - Dishwasher compatibility saves significant time during the busy weaning stage.
- Stackable design - Containers that nest or stack efficiently save space in the fridge and bag.

Baby Food Containers - Frequently Asked Questions
BPA-free plastic, food-grade silicone, and stainless steel are the safest materials for baby food storage. Avoid older plastic containers that may not be BPA-free, and never microwave food in plastic containers that are not explicitly marked as microwave-safe.
Homemade purees can generally be refrigerated in sealed containers for 2-3 days. Frozen purees last up to 2-3 months. Always label containers with the date and ensure they are properly sealed before refrigerating or freezing. Thaw frozen purees in the fridge overnight rather than at room temperature.
Only heat food in containers that are explicitly labelled as microwave-safe. It is generally safer to transfer food to a microwave-safe bowl for heating, then return it to the container for serving or storage. Always stir heated food and check the temperature before feeding.
For early weaning (around 6 months), small containers of 100-150ml are sufficient. As your baby's appetite grows through 8-12 months, 200-300ml containers become more practical. For toddlers and finger food snacks, larger 300-500ml containers with divided sections work well.
Silicone containers are flexible, durable, and completely food-safe. They can often be used directly in the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. Plastic containers are lighter and often more affordable. Both are excellent when food-grade and BPA-free - the best choice depends on your usage and preference.
