Two silicone trays, two different jobs
The Haakaa Freezer Tray and the Haakaa Silicone Nibble Tray both help you prep baby food ahead, but they are built for different tasks. The Freezer Tray comes in three compartment sizes for freezing purees, breast milk, and homemade baby food in bulk. The Nibble Tray is designed for freezing smaller portions like yogurt bites, smoothie drops, and toddler finger foods. Choosing between them comes down to how much you freeze at once and how you plan to serve it.

Freezer Tray vs Nibble Tray: key differences
- Compartment sizes: The Freezer Tray offers 4, 6, or 9 compartments with capacities of 110ml, 70ml, or 32ml respectively. The Nibble Tray's exact compartment sizes are not confirmed in the supplied information, but it is described for smaller portions like yogurt bites and finger foods.
- Intended use: The Freezer Tray is positioned for freezing purees, breast milk, and homemade baby food in batches. The Nibble Tray is for freezing purees, breast milk, smoothies, yogurt bites, and toddler-friendly finger foods, suggesting a focus on snacks and small bites.
- Care instructions: The Freezer Tray record includes specific care limits: wash before and after each use, do not use bleach-based cleaners, and it can be boiled for 2-3 minutes to sterilize. The Nibble Tray record does not include care instructions in the supplied information, so check the packaging or manufacturer's guidance.
- Material: Both are made from food-grade silicone. The Freezer Tray is explicitly BPA, PVC, and phthalate free; the Nibble Tray's record does not list these certifications, but it is described as food-grade silicone.
Which tray fits your routine?
If you batch-cook purees or freeze breast milk in larger volumes, the Freezer Tray's range of compartment sizes gives you flexibility. The 4-compartment tray holds 110ml per cube, which suits bigger appetites or older babies, while the 9-compartment tray offers 32ml portions for early tastes. The Nibble Tray, with its focus on yogurt bites and finger foods, is better if you want to prep small snacks or transition to self-feeding. Because its exact capacity is not confirmed, consider whether you need precise portion control or just convenient small bites.
Practical limits to keep in mind
The Freezer Tray record states that infant food or breast milk should not be kept frozen for longer than 3 months unless in a deep freeze, and thawed food should not be refrozen. These are important safety guidelines to follow. The Nibble Tray record does not include storage duration limits, so use the same safe practices you would for any frozen baby food. Also note that solid food is recommended for babies 4-6 months plus; consult your midwife or medical professional if introducing solids earlier.
