Homemade Baby Food On-the-Go
How to pack baby food for planes, trains and automobiles
Planning to get away for a day or going further afield on a plane, train or bus? You can pack healthy, homemade meals for your baby no matter how you’re getting to your destination. Just before you’re ready to leave, select the food cubes for your baby’s meal(s) and place them in the plastic containers of your travel tote. If you pack more than one meal or snack, label the lids of the containers (snack, lunch, etc.) with a permanent marker or a piece of paper and scotch tape.
Pack them all into the travel tote with a freezer pack to keep them cold. The frozen food cubes will slowly defrost inside the tote and will stay cold for eight to 12 hours, plenty of time to reach your destination. Most convenient stores and/or truck stops have a microwave and airlines will usually give you a bag of hot water to warm baby food with.
