Squash

I chose Butternut Squash since its sweeter.

Wash the squash and lay on cutting board.



Cut in half length wise.  With a spoon, clean out the seeds and any strings that are sticking out.


This is how it should look once cleaned out.



Place face (or flesh) down in a casserole dish with 1 inch of water in it.  Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.



Once its ready, I would drain the water and let it cool off on the cutting board.  Once its cooled on you can scoop out the insides into the mixer.  Discard the skin.

Mix with breast milk, water, or formula to desired consistency.  You can play around with this to see what consistency you want for your baby.  Some babies like thicker food and some like it very thin.


Spoon from mixing bowl into cubes.  I put just enough in there to reach the very top of each cube.



Place saran wrap lightly over the tray and place in freezer.  It will take a few hours to freeze.  Once frozen, pop out and place in labeled Ziploc bag with date.  Good for 1-2 months frozen and 48 hours thawed in refrigerator!
