In reply to Tziporah. The puree is meant for after a baby starts solids, which is typically around 6 months.

At how many months of age is this safe to feed to a baby?

In reply to Caitlin. Hi- I think the best option would be to freeze small portions in an ice cube tray, then you know they'll be safe and fresh for future weeks. I'd think the normal breast milk storage guidelines would apply otherwise.

In reply to Amy Palanjian. Hi! I have used my breast milk to introduce peanut butter purée. But I cannot find anywhere for storage info on this mix. I made quite a bit but I’m unsure how long this would last because of the milk

In reply to Shy. Hi and welcome! I haven't tried it with formula and I think it will work but it may be thicker to start since the consistency of formula is so much thicker. So the ratios may be a little different. You can freeze it on its own or mixed with another puree for up to 6 months. Hope baby enjoys it!

Hi
Just came across you site on Google and I’ve already learned so much!!!
Can I sub water for formula?
How long can it be stored in the freezer if I mix it with a freshly made puree?

In reply to Jasmine. Hi- Yes, you can do this with creamy almond butter too. BLW is entirely outside of the traditional stages, so you can start that at 6 months. If you do a combined approach, you'd just look to transition from the bigger pieces of food to smaller bite size ones around 9 months. (So basically ignore the stages and just remember that you'll eventually move away from the larger sizes as baby starts chewing more and learning to take bites. Let me know if you have more questions!

Can I do the same with creamy almond butter as with peanut butter? Also I noticed it has the 3 feeding stages, my baby boy is almost 6 months so I intend to start introducing food to him soon, does this mean he can’t do BLW till 9 months? I’ve noticed that stage 3 is the stage that introduces finger foods. But I also saw your other article on BLW so I’m a bit confused as to whether I can offer him roasted sweet potato wedges and apples etc. at 6 months or if I am meant to wait till he’s older? Thanks much.

In reply to Tia. Hi- Yes, it's a great addition to any other puree or whole milk yogurt. It actually may be filling on it's own, but you can totally pair it. We like it with banana, yogurt, apple, oatmeal, rice cereal...

Hello Amy,
I am a first time mom, I have been a fan of your wonderful recipes as of this year when I discovered you on Google. I have made many of your great meals for my son. I have purchased organic peanut butter and will be trying it very soon, however, my question to you is this: can I add the peanut butter with any other purées? (Of course eventually, once I have given it a first try) It doesn’t seem to be filling enough as a meal on its own…

Sending lots of love from Ottawa,Canada
