FAQs
How long can I store these teething ice pops in the freezer?
These Banana-Avocado Teething Ice Pops can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks. However, for optimal freshness and flavor, it’s best to serve them within a week.
What if my baby doesn’t take to the ice pops right away?
That’s okay! Every baby has their unique preferences. You can try offering it at different times or when they’re particularly fussy due to teething. Sometimes, the cold sensation is new and might take a bit for them to get accustomed to.
Can I add any sweeteners to enhance the taste?
These ice pops get natural sweetness from ripe bananas. It’s advisable to avoid adding any artificial sweeteners for babies. If you’d like, you can introduce a touch of natural honey if your baby is over 12 months old.
Are there any potential allergens in this recipe?
The primary ingredients – banana and avocado – are generally safe and low on the allergen list. However, always monitor your baby during the first serving to check for any reactions.
How should I store any leftover mixture that didn’t fit into my molds?
If you have extra mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can use it to make additional ice pops or even serve it as a mash for a delicious and nutritious baby treat.
