Have you started Robert on solids or just getting prepared? What's your method and how are you storing it?
We're definitely going to make Margot's baby food and got a Beaba and a babyfood cookbook at my baby shower. I'm undecided on how I want to store it though. My Pedi and I agreed it would be best not to start her on solids until 6 months because of her allergies, so I still have a little over a month to figure it out.

Re: Alyssa
We are starting at 5 months per our pedi. She said it is fine to start him on cereals now an then introduce 1 fruit a day and then at 6 months to start veggies (after our next appt). So I figured I'd play around to see how easy it exactly was and try the things out myself. It was so easy!
We are using these trays and once they are frozen I'm putting them into freezer bags labeled with what they are. I got 2 trays at my shower and that seems to be working just fine.

I have been finding recipes online so far. The apples were so easy. Just peel, chop into chunks and then put them into a food processor with a little bit of the water. I didn't add much in because I figure I can add more liquid (formula or BM) once we start and I determine how thick or thin works for him. I made bananas and they just need to be a little soft and dropped into the food processor. I definitely will liquid to them since they were pretty thick.
We use our regular food processor and it has been working fine. I may get the little cups from the baby bullet for travel that are dated. I still need to figure out what we will use for when we are out in about. I may buy these from Dr. Browns:
