Stage 1 foods..storage question?

Question

Once I open a gerber container of green beans (not the jars) and my son doesn't eat the whole thing..so I toss it, throw it in the fridge or put it back in the pantry??

Answer 1

dont feed him from the jar, scoop it into a separate container. then put the rest in the fridge. it's good for 2-3 days  

Answer 2

Best suggestion is to put it back in the fridge. When you feed him take out the food that you think he is going to eat into a separate container. The reason is because if you use the spoon to feed him and then keep dipping it back into the jar it puts bacteria in the jar and then the bacteria grows well it is sitting in the fridge waiting for the next feed.  

Answer 3

Put whatever he's going to eat in a bowl and feed him that. Leave the rest in the container and put it in the fridge, its good for about 2 or 3 days.

Answer 4

I think the directions are to put it in the fridge and use within 2-3 days and then toss it in the trash if not used. :)

Answer 5

They say to take out whatever you think your baby will eat and you can store the rest in the fridge. So thats what I did at first because my son would only eat a half a container at a time also. I would use it within 2 days though.  

Answer 6

you can snap the lid back in and stick it in the fridge. they advise you to use it within 48 hours. so when he's ready, just warm it up. with as expensive as foods are getting, it's a shame to waste anything.

Answer 7

the fridge, it should have storage directions on the box. but if you put it in the pantry it will mold you can put it in the fridge and either let it sit out for an hour before feeding to come to room temp or you can microwave it to warm it but BUT ANYTHING YOU MICROWAVE USE CAUTION!!! dont use plastic for babies put it in a micro safe glass bowl or plate and stir it up good to make sure there is no hot spots and test it on your inside wrist to make sure its not to hot. your wrist is better cause its more sensitive then your mouth cause you are use to hot temps GL  

Answer 8

Always refrigerate leftover baby food, and as long as you don't feed him from the same container that it came in you can use t for his next meal. You just don't want to get saliva mixed in with what you're saving.
