Making your own baby food is rewarding because you know that your little one is consuming only fresh and nutritious ingredients – but choosing appropriate containers in which to store your homemade baby food creations is an important part of providing healthy meals for your baby, too.
Research has demonstrated that undesirable chemicals – including BPA, PVC and phthalates – may leach into foods from certain types of containers. So it’s essential to check that the materials in which you store your little one’s food are free from these potentially harmful elements.
We were delighted when we were contacted last week by Wean Green, a Canadian company founded by mum of two Melissa Gunning. Wean Green has created Wean Cubes – eco-friendly baby food containers which are good for baby and for the environment too!
Wean Green uses a very strong, durable tempered glass that does not leach chemicals, as well as lids that are free of PVC, BPA, plasticizers and phthalates, so food is kept as fresh as the day it went in the container.
The four-ounce Wean Cube is made from 100% recyclable tempered glass and includes measuring lines on the side, so you can monitor how much your baby eats. The lids are made from a safe plastic in four fabulous colors, raspberry, carrot, pea and blueberry. The smart clips on the lids keep food safe in the container avoiding any diaper bag messes.
What’s more, Wean Green has generously offered to send a set of four cubes to one lucky Homemade Baby Food Recipes website reader!
If you’d like to receive a set of these wonderful cubes – worth $28 – absolutely FREE, then just take a look Wean Green’s homepage and tell us which color lid is your favourite.
Please leave your answer by commenting below – or via our contact form – before the closing date of July 10th.
Please note that this contest is only open to residents of the US and Canada.
We’ll be contacting the winner by email shortly after the closing date – so if you’d like to win some of these gorgeous cubes to store YOUR baby’s meals, then pick your favourite colour and enter now!

First I'd get the blue one for my baby-boy, and then the multicolored ones.

After reading the write up on these containers it isn't the color of the dishes i find exciting! It is knowing that there are other people out there that love making their baby food as much as i do and understand how important it is to store it. It is so exciting that there are other parents and people who care as much as i do about the nutrition i can offer my baby. Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating such an amazing product! We have used glass bottles from the start and it is hard to find containers to store our homemade food in. I love all the colors you have created! Robin Pogany
