IMPORTANT!
Do not save leftovers that have come in contact with a
used spoon or utensil. Germs from the spoon can easily contaminate the
remaining food. If you don’t think your baby will consume the full contents of
a storage cup, simply take what you need out of the cup with a clean utensil,
reseal the lid, and save the rest for later.
WARNING:
Do not fill Freezer Tray more than 2/3 full to prevent freezer burn
and leakage. Make sure all sides of the Freezer Tray Lid are snapped on and
sealed to avoid freezer burn.

Baby’s First Purée!
Purée consistency: thin & smooth enough to run off a spoon
The day has arrived, but how do you choose what will be the very first
solid food your baby eats? Don’t fret! If you have to, close your eyes
and point at this page to choose the first food. The very first “meal”
likely won’t be more than a spoonful.
Week 1.
For week one, you will continue
to feed your baby one food a
day in conjunction with breast
milk or formula. After 2 days,
make sure you take the servings
for day 3 and 4 out of the
freezer and place them in the
refrigerator to thaw. On day 4,
take the servings for day 5 and
6 out of the freezer and place in
the refrigerator to thaw.
Making the right amount
of food for week 1.
To avoid wasting food, fill 3-4
Date-Dial Storage Cups halfway
with the first food and fill the Easy
Pop Freezer Tray with the second
food. Refrigerate the storage
cups and freeze the Freezer Tray,
so you’ll be ready to go all week!
Storage reminder:
Fresh food
keeps in the refrigerator for
2-3 days per USDA food safety
guidelines
[12]
. Frozen food
keeps for about 3 months.
Even if the food has changed
color or browned, it is still safe
to eat if consumed within the
recommended timeframe.
Immediately freezing purées
after preparing helps to
reduce browning.
Week 2.
For Week 2, you can offer a
third flavor, but stay on the “4-
Day Wait” Rule schedule. Start
offering a bit more food than in
Week 1; we recommend half a
NutriBullet
Baby
®
serving once
a day. Always watch for signs
from your baby that let you know
mealtime is over.
Moving forward.
Depending on your baby’s age at
the time of the first meal, you may
be looking at 2 servings a day
pretty quickly. Follow their lead.
