Portion control is the unglamorous but genuinely important part of batch-cooked weaning food, and this set of 14 stackable 80ml pots with a built-in date wheel on each lid solves it cleanly: no separate labels to write and lose, no guessing how old a portion is three weeks into the freezer.

At 80ml, the sizing is aimed squarely at the earliest stage of weaning (single-taste purées), which means as your baby's appetite grows over the following months, most parents outgrow the exact portion size within 6-8 weeks and either double up pots per meal or move to a larger container. That's a real limitation to know about upfront rather than assuming one set covers the whole weaning journey.

Against simply reusing ice-cube trays (a very common free alternative), these pots are stackable, have secure lids that don't leak in the freezer, and are BPA-free and dishwasher safe — worth the modest cost if you're batch-cooking regularly, less essential if you're only weaning occasionally or in small quantities.

What we liked

  • Built-in date wheel removes the need for labels

  • Dishwasher, freezer and microwave safe

Where it falls short

  • Sizing suits early weaning only, outgrown within a couple of months
  • More expensive than reusing ice-cube trays
  • Lids can warp slightly after repeated microwave use
